One day, I was just watching TV and I went to the bathroom about twelve times in something like fifteen minutes. [My family and I] were suspicious about what was happening, so we went to the clinic. They checked my blood sugar and they told me that I had diabetes. It was very hard on both me and my family. When I tell people this, they ask me if I had the chance, would I ever go back and change to stop this from happening. And I tell them no, because it made me who I am today. It taught me to stay grounded and become more humble. That experience is very important and means a lot to me, because without my diagnosis, I don’t know who I would be.” #humansofmaldenhigh A photo posted by Humans of Malden High School (@_humansofmhs) on Mar 8, 2016 at 9:34am PST Continue Reading Previous: Humans of Malden 3/10Next: School Committee Votes to Increase Lunch Prices for Students Related Stories Graduation Homepage Local The Best Is Yet to Come: Celebrating the Class of 2025 Delina Yohannes June 11, 2025 Editorial Homepage Local Opinions Why We Should Appreciate Public Journalism Mack Keating June 11, 2025 Homepage Malden High School’s Prom Red Carpet 2025 Farris Qranfal June 11, 2025
