Wow!!!! Lawyers, doctors, psychologists, and, I understand there is a pro golfer................... a person with thalasemia can be whatever they want! One of my favorites however, is todays ability to 'go to college in your pajamas', online studies! One of my favorite passtimes when I feel too tired to do anything is to get online and learn something. Imagine how exciting thalpal has been for education!!!!!! Great inspriation in this subject, thank you all!!! OldThalGal
