Life is full of challenges, but it’s in those challenges that we discover our true strength. Today was one of those days where I lived the journey of resilience, pushing through, learning, and growing into the person I’m meant to be. Let me share my story with you—one of persistence, self-care, and the unwavering belief that we all have the power to shine.
The Power of Resilience in Education
This morning, I sat down to tackle another set of assignments at Capella University. For many, education is a path to success, but for me, it’s also a journey of overcoming obstacles. With visual impairments and hydrocephalus, learning requires more effort, but every step I take is a triumph. Armed with tools like my Amigo magnifier and Divinci Pro, I dived into my coursework, not just to complete assignments, but to prove to myself that I am capable of achieving anything I set my mind to.
It’s not always easy, but every obstacle I overcome reminds me of my strength. If you’re ever feeling overwhelmed by your own journey, remember: resilience isn’t about never falling. It’s about getting up every single time, stronger than before.
Turning Dreams into Reality: Joy’s Finds
When I wasn’t studying, I was pouring my heart into building my dream business: “Joy’s Finds.” Creating something that reflects my values and spreads positivity is a dream I’m determined to bring to life. Today, I designed my first product line, and the joy of seeing my ideas take shape filled my heart with pride.
Starting a business is no small feat, especially when faced with physical challenges. But I refuse to let anything hold me back. If you’ve ever dreamed of something bigger than yourself, I want to remind you that even the smallest steps are progress. Your dreams are within reach—keep moving forward.
Hydrocephalus: My Journey, My Strength
Hydrocephalus is a part of my life, but it doesn’t define me. It’s a condition that requires patience and self-care, but it also teaches me the value of listening to my body and respecting my limits. Today, I made sure to take breaks, drink water, and rest when needed. Self-care is not a luxury—it’s a necessity for everyone, especially when facing challenges.
Even with the fatigue that comes with hydrocephalus, I’m filled with gratitude. My smart cane allows me to navigate life with confidence, and I’m reminded daily of the strength within me. This journey is about more than surviving—it’s about thriving in the face of adversity, and showing up for yourself every single day.
A Call to Action: Share Your Story
As I reflect on today, I’m filled with hope and gratitude. This journey is not just mine—it’s a shared experience of resilience, growth, and connection.

Whether it’s a small step toward a dream, an act of self-care, or a moment of triumph, every part of your journey matters.
Remember, it’s not the setbacks that define us, but how we rise. Let’s continue to encourage one another, celebrate our progress, and embrace the radiant strength within us all.
Until next time, stay resilient, stay radiant, and keep chasing your dreams. ✨
