About Me :)

Hello!

My name is Emilee Sparks; I am 18 and just recently graduated from high school. I moved to South Carolina from Colorado 2.5 years ago. The beach is one of my favorite places, and as you can probably guess, I also love reading and writing.

I had a traumatic experience back in November of 2024 where I went into sudden cardiac arrest while walking to class. Due to that and many other underlying issues I will be listed for a heart transplant after my evaluation which is coming up in two weeks. This experience is what drove me into sharing my story and to stop trying to hide the fact that I have two heart conditions and I am unfortunately symptomatic for both. I almost died without getting to share my story, so this is my story. I’ll talk about various things like my medical, mental health, and some of my poems.

I hope that my words can help or inspire someone else to do the same or if someone is in a similar situation, I hope they know they aren’t alone like I thought I was for the longest time.

Thank you for reading this and I hope you continue to check back for posts!
