You're looking at one of the newest pledges for the Zeta Omega chapter of Alpha Phi Omega! That's right, folks. Tonight, we had Activation Night, and I am now officially a pledge member. Alpha Phi Omega is built on three things: service, friendship, and leadership. I love that about APO. I enjoy serving so much. As a Christian, we are called to be God's hands and feet, serving the world as we can. Service gives me such joy! Even when I am having a horrible day, service lifts my spirits and takes the focus off of my own problems and onto the needs of others. APO also gives me a chance to form great friendships with people who love serving, just as I do. This co-ed fraternity creates strong bonds of friendship among its members. As well, APO will encourage me to use the innate leadership abilities God has given me. I am so excited to see how God is going to use this opportunity to further His glory and His name across the Waco community! I have my first pledge test on Wednesday, so wish me luck!

In October of 2019, Trikafta was approved by the FDA for all people with CF with at least one copy of the dF508 mutation. 90% of people with CF have at least one copy of this specific mutation. This is a HUGE deal in the CF community because it is one of a handful of drugs that addresses the underlying cause of CF and the only drug that such a huge percentage of people with CF can take. Trikafta is a total game-changer for so many, including me. I have gained stability, I require fewer IV antibiotics, I gained lung function I thought was long gone, and I feel like I can plan things in my life again. The hard work of the CF Foundation, willing researchers who continue to search for a cure and medicines that will increase quality of life, and the generous donations fr
