I developed MRSA on my face and continued going to school. Self-confidence can be a bitch, and I'm so glad I fought through the weird looks and constant questioning of what was on my face. Whenever someone talked to me, they wouldn't look at me. They would only look at the MRSA, and it made me feel less than human. I guess it's pretty metal to have placed yourself in a less-than-human situation every day for months.

I also wrestled at State with a broken finger. Yes, wrestling and the MRSA were definitely connected.
