“Wow, that doesn’t look good…”
Not exactly what I wanted to hear from a medical professional regarding my teeth, or lack thereof.
It happened one Thursday night and left me sprawled out, face down on a volleyball court below a crowd of spectators. I lifted my tongue and felt just slivers of what had been my two front teeth. In a surreal daze and with the salvageable pieces of my teeth in hand, I was rushed out, while my...

When I was deciding what schools to apply to, one of the biggest factors was actually location. I had tons of friends trying to get as far away from home as possible, applying to schools in Massachusetts, New York, Chicago, etcetera.
