At the age of two, Jenny’s mother noticed that Jenny went from crawling to walking to crawling again. Her ankle was swollen and hot to the touch. Jenny was then diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA), a condition which causes inflammation in the joints and it eventually caused her vision impairment. Growing up, Jenny was not treated differently by her mother or siblings. She was encouraged to reach for her dreams which led her to become the first person in her family to graduate from college. Despite her diagnosis and her declining vision, Jenny has continued to be positive and tries everyday to live her life to the fullest.
