Pre Prom Predicament

Emerging 


About 2 weeks ago, I had Junior Prom. Let's just say that I am not a huge fan of school dances. I even missed the week of school before the dance because I was in Louisiana with the Brown Environmental Leadership Lab (BELL). But since I had a date, I wanted to look somewhat decent and got my nails and hair done at my local salon. 


So while I was getting my nails done, I met a sweet lady who had multiple sclerosis (MS). This disease affects the brain and the spinal chord. She asked me about prom and also about colleges. I told her some of the schools I was interested in and she asked me what I wanted to study. When I told her how I loved environmental science and art history, she totally understood where I was coming from! She told me how she is an artist that works with advance neuro-imagining technology to create her artwork. Her artwork has been featured in books and publications, such as the Oxford University Press. 
When I checked out her website, it honestly blew my mind. I connected with her art on such a deep level. Because in a way, those pieces represented me. 

Honestly, I am very blessed to have met her. She inspires me to continue my passion and gives me the reassurance that I am not the only one who likes art and science. 



Please, Please, PLEASE check out her amazing artwork!
