Dear Readers,

As some of you know I have been treated at Children's Hospital, Boston since birth. Having grown up not too far from where it is located I believe that beyond the medicine the organization has had a huge impact on my development into an adult. So when I was given the opportunity to share how Children's helped me successfully transition into my first college dorm - I readily agreed!! It is my hope that this entry shows other kids and patients of Children's that not only is a college education attainable, but so is life-long
independence despite complex day-to-day challenges we may face.
- Sandy
