Nevertheless, Taylor says her schooling has stored her targeted.

“It’s all the time been a prime precedence of mine to get an schooling and achieve success,” Taylor mentioned. “Once I acquired sick, I needed it extra. The truth that it was a lot more difficult with every little thing happening, I didn’t need that to cease me. … And I don’t even have a look at it as, ‘Oh, I’m going by way of all this and I nonetheless did every little thing.’ I felt prefer it was simply regular.”

Taylor mentioned her analysis has additionally taught her to understand small issues in her life. She mentioned earlier than she knew about her diseases, she tended to assume negatively.

“This illness gave me a brand new perspective on life,” she mentioned. “Me with the ability to stand up out of the mattress — a win. Me with the ability to do an entire day of faculty — a win. Me with the ability to do dialysis and get up feeling good — a win. I’ve to take my wins the place I can get them and that’s additionally the place the optimistic perspective comes from. I simply select to be optimistic now, as a result of, you realize, why be adverse?”
