Advice/Quote
"Don't let allergies slow you down. I have found that focusing on what I considered to be a disadvantage did not help me motivate myself to achieve what I really can. Think positively, even if that means just saying to yourself, 'Well, at least I don't have to worry about weight gain from eating too many cakes, cookies, and canolis!'"
