Hi, and welcome to the Blog tab of my website, Back to Blog! This page will be a place for me to talk about my personal experience with scoliosis, from confidence tips to fashion advice with a back brace. In addition, posts on this blog will include perspectives other than my own, with posts from friends of mine who have had scoliosis surgery and medical professionals who have extensive experience in treating scoliosis. While the other tabs of this website were created to inform you about symptoms and treatment options, this tab is intended to inspire. I hope to help others gain confidence and navigate the rough road of scoliosis based on what I have gone through so far.
Why did I create this blog? I have been a Girl Scout since I was in kindergarten, and the program has instilled in me a heart for service and a desire to help others. As an Ambassador, I am now working on my Gold Award, the highest award that a Girl Scout can earn; when coming up with a project idea for this award, I saw this blog as the perfect opportunity to combine the values scouting has taught me with the knowledge and experience I have gained through my struggles with scoliosis. Back to Blog is the main part of my Gold Award, and through it I hope to not only impact those with scoliosis but eliminate the general stigma around talking about one's disease or disability. Prior to my freshman year of high school, I was diagnosed with scoliosis, and this sudden news in addition to the nerves of entering high school took a toll on my self esteem. I felt alone in my experiences and uncomfortable in my own body. My goal with this blog is to inform and inspire others with scoliosis as well as act as a sister to those who have no one to turn to. Thanks for stopping by; I can't wait for the blog posts to come! In the meantime, check out the other pages on Back to Blog to learn more about scoliosis and my story. See you soon!
