What do you like about this subject?  I have the ability to possibly help someone who is going through the same things I did and am now.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  I hope to achieve better control and possibly see a cure happen for the disease.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  That young people, no matter what they think, can not escape the consequences of the disease if it is not controlled.
