All About Jacob

My brother's name is Jacob Curtin. He is 18 years old and has just graduated from Riverside Brookfield High School. He will be attending the Illinois Institute of Art for Visual Communications in the fall. Some of his hobbies include painting, drawing, photography, cross country, and skate boarding. The reason I chose him to interview for this project is because he currently has Type 1 Diabetes and Attention Deficit Disorder. He was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in kindergarten but was not diagnosed with ADD until the summer before senior year of high school when he was 18 years old. I thought it was interesting that while he was growing up and had trouble in school, the doctors thought it was because of problems with his diabetes. I will explain more about this in a different post. The picture to the right is of Jacob and I before his senior prom.
