Eric says the primary lesson he learned from Taylor Haugen’s inspiring life is to never give up. Eric applied that lesson to his own life in his freshman year when he developed anxiety.He changed from a cheerful, outgoing young man to a quiet and sullen individual. His internal battle with anxiety made academics and sports difficult.

 

Eric overcame his anxiety through changes to his diet, counseling, and prayer. Today, Eric is fully recovered from the anxiety that made his early years of high school so difficult. Eric wants to use his story to educate others and to inspire hope for those who have lost sight of the future.As for his own future, Eric hopes to attend Vanderbilt University or the University of Florida.
