<p>Hey Guys,</p>
<p>I am now a senior in high school, but back in the summer after 7th grade I went on a camping trip and contracted Lyme Disease. Since then I have had numerous headaches and other problems which interfered with my studies and resulted in many sick days. I have become so used to it that I have forgotten to mention it anywhere on my app. Do you think I should let the admissions offices know so they can understand this difficulty that I have been facing and why I have so many sick days (14 this first semester). I do have the official diagnosis forms. So... do you think I should mention this? Will colleges think "wow, this guy must have worked incredibly hard" or "I don't want to take the risk of this guy" (because for some people who were diagnosed late, not including myself, the prognosis is far worse)? If colleges consider economic difficulties to a student's advantage, would they consider this difficulty to my advantage?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
