She is the most optimistic and positive person I know...

— Meghan Nash —

By Collin Burwinkel | Staff Reporter

Flawless, extraordinary and perfect are just a few of the adjectives friends of UA freshman Sabrina Kelley use to describe her. Just like many other students, Kelley came to the University with aspirations to join Greek life, meet new friends and experience college for the first time. But Kelley’s story is different than most. At six weeks old, Kelley was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease that causes severe damage to the lungs and digestive system. “When I first moved in during the fall, Sabrina mentioned cystic fibrosis, but I didn’t really know what it was,” said Meghan Nash, a freshman majoring in political science and Kelley’s roommate. According to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, more than 30,000 people struggle with this terminal disease in the U.S. “It wasn’t until I saw her taking 10 pills in the morning, 13 pills at night and having to wear a nebulizer mask to help her breathe and do all of these things did I realize how serious her condition was,” Nash said. “She is the most

MATTHEW Bailey Staff Columnist

President Obama gave his last important State of the Union earlier this month. Though he has one more address to give, that one will be overshad- owed by electoral politics. This speech outlined what he is going to push the Republican Congress to do and in many ways, it represented the Obama many in 2008 and 2012 voted for but never really got. He expressed his support for “middle class economics,” fighting climate change and working through issues such as Iran’s nuclear program through negotiation. Despite that, Obama’s speech failed in several aspects, especially because he did not acknowledge the political reality that he faces and certain issues he supports that undercut it. Tribune News Service Obama called for the Democrats and COLUMN | RACE Republicans to give him “trade promotion authority to protect American workers, with strong new trade deals from Asia to Europe that aren’t Racism undermines ‘self-made man’ just free, but fair.” By this, he means fast track authority to pass the Trans-Pacific Partnership. not have been more wrong in my others as human beings no matter He acknowledges that past trade deals “haven’t assumptions about some of the their skin color should not be as dif- always lived up to the hype,” but it is unlikely that issues the education system in ficult a change as it has been made. this one will either, given that senators and rep- our country once faced and is The famous image of a “self-made resentatives can’t even copy the bill to analyze it currently battling. man” our country emphasizes is before it is introduced.
