I was really pretty gleeful to have my own dorm because normally it’s only reserved for the older teenagers! Being able to control the air-conditioning in my room and have my own temperature control was game changing for me and my asthma
When I was 13 years old my parents took me to the dentist because I started having concerns breathing during the night. They were super scared because I would wake up in the middle of the night gasping for air, but once we went to the dentist I was informed that I had asthma. I knew that living with asthma would not be fun, but it was something that I would have to deal with. I’m entirely sensitive to air quality and I have to make sure that while I’m at property the temperature control is set to a perfect temperature. So when I decided that I wanted to go away for university and live in a dorm with my parents, I was particularly nervous. He told me that I had never lived alone and it might be a reality check for me, I had already spoken with the university I wanted to go to and they let me know I’d be able to have my own room and control my own temperature control.

Being able to control the air-conditioning in my room and have my own temperature control was game changing for me and my asthma. I was so gleeful to be able to go to university. I’ll be able to live on my own separate from my parents seeing my every move. I cherish them but periodically they can be quite overbearing when it comes to my asthma.
