Book Synopsis In the early 2000s Lyme disease was not considered to be a prevalent or formidable disease, especially in the Midwestern state of Wisconsin. The consensus at the time was that it was easy to diagnose and even easier to treat. The mere mention of chronic Lyme disease was scoffed at and would have you labeled as an attention seeker, weak, and by some, as crazy. Lyme disease derailed the promising future of an up-and-coming teenager. The effects made for a major humbling experience and an almost unbelievable lengthy, uphill fight. With no high school diploma or college degree, and no formal papers ever being completed, David takes you, in his own words, on an in-depth, real-life story that will inspire and move you. A fitting, final dissertation that more than makes up for a decades worth of missed and incomplete assignments. Rooted in faith that was tested daily but guided by earthly angels to provide comfort and care, David gradually battled back against himself, classmates, family, friends, teachers, and doctors to gain back some semblance of a normal life. In Humbled, you may not always get what you want, you may fall massively short of your goals, you may question or ask God why. However, the results are the same for everybody. Life rarely goes as planned. Bad things will happen, but good is all around you. Take the time to appreciate what you have and use your talents to be the best you can be.
