Hello all! My name is Aliya White. I am a junior at Spelman College, an IIPP Fellow (Cohort 17), and I am studying abroad in Granada, Spain for the semester. I may do a year in Spain or I might study abroad in another country second semester like Argentina or Turkey. A month before I left for Spain I decided to get my molars removed because I was having pain. If I would have known it would take three weeks to heal and a black eye I probably would have reconsidered the surgery. My teeth are two big for my mouth and removing my molars was extremely difficult especially since my second molars are not even grown in completely yet. My face blew up! I was practically swollen all over. I was self-conscious and would not skype anyone. For three weeks I was house ridden. While sitting in the house I took on a job tutoring my 6 year old nephew how to read. Once again, if I would have known my nephew would make fun of my swollen face and be extremely difficult I would have reconsider the position. But everything happens for a reason and it was a learning experience. I learned kids love stickers. :)
So I attached a picture of my "lovely" nephew Daniel who I had the privilege of tutoring getting his hair cut and also I attached a picture of my swollen face a few days after getting my molars removed. I normally would never publicly display complete embarrassing pictures of me but I want my readers to understand how I was feeling and what I went through. I am healed now tho.
