Staying Strong
It's amazing that she was able to keep going on with her life even when she went through the darkest times of her depression, like her multiple suicide attempts. Still going to school and establishing her career, knowing that if it was found out by the wrong people that she had manic depression illness, she may not have been able to work in the field she did. A lot of people can't keep going and give up and never think that things will ever get better. I love the fact that she found the strength to keep going no matter what.

I completely agree with your post. So many times we stumble and fall in life, it makes it harder and creates many obstacles for us, but the ones who decided to stand up when they fall, try again and fight back, those are the ones who truly succeed in life. Kay is a great example of this, with her perseverance she was able to accomplish so much, she got back up and was determined to not let her disorder be a problem that was going to stand in her way.
