Chloe Anderson is a freshman at Loyola University Chicago, and is pursuing a major in nursing. Like me, Chloe is from a small town in rural Illinois, after recovering from a bit culture shock she has found city life to exciting (but sometimes scary) so far. Chloe has an incredibly energetic personality and she always enjoys a bit of sarcasm. She lives her life passionately, which I am sure will reward her with great success.
Coming up with an interesting story about herself was all too easy for Chloe. She suggested anything from her gluten intolerance to the time she told a boy off on her little league team and went on to hit triple, we settled on her crazy left eye. As soon as I said, "Go", Chloe was on her way energetically telling the story of how when she was born her left eye was not working quite right. After visiting a doctor in her hometown who claimed she would grow out of it, her worried parents sought a second opinion. At the hospital in Iowa City, Chloe's parents were informed just how severe her case was. If they did not do surgery Chloe could have potentially lost function of her eye and been half blind. Thankfully, the doctor working on Chloe's eye was an incredibly skilled eye surgeon and was able to invent a surgery to tighten the muscle behind her eye. It involved popping her eye out of her head, which I am sure was utterly terrifying for her parents (Chloe was only a year and half old). The surgery was successful and Chloe’s vision is only slightly impaired which she can wear glasses to correct, she has to tilt her head slightly to the right, and now she can do cool tricks with her eye—not a bad deal considering what could have gone wrong.
