  Food Allergies in the Real World  

Meet Ryan


Emma's Self-Portrait

Age: 17
Allergic to: peanuts and soy
Favorite TV show: Law & Order
Loves: to travel

Goals for the future:
I want to join the Peace Corps after graduation from college. I will have more experience dealing with my allergy away from home by that time, and I hope it will be manageable for me to do this type of work and travel. When I have doubts as to whether my plans and dreams can be fulfilled, I share them with my parents and friends, and I gain confidence. I am beginning to believe I will handle whatever situation or problem my food allergies present, no matter what I choose to do with my life or how far away those plans take me.
