"All of us have obstacles to overcome in our lives. Most are small and we soon forget the problem. Others are much more significant and many are painful to overcome, whether they are physical, emotional or both. Nonetheless, no matter how we deal with our obstacles, they do shape our lives. Although still young, Sarah's struggle with Lyme disease has given her a unique perspective that should benefit those who have difficult challenges to overcome. In fact, it is her youth that allows Sarah to look at her challenge with such vigor and freshness. Her positive attitude is fundamental to a quality life. It is a lesson we can all learn, or rediscover." - Raymond D. Screws, Ph.D. Senior Program Officer Nebraska Humanities Council
