Mikailla Northern juggled exams, homework, clinicals, classes, 20 hrs of training a week as a student-athlete — and then life got harder. She was diagnosed with cancer in 2018. Still, Northern pursued her goal to become a @UICnursing grad. https://t.co/jEtm1jJGNY

Inspiring grad Mikailla Northern was an accomplished gymnast and @UICnursing student when she was diagnosed with cancer in 2018. But her oasis of positivity was impossible to put off balance. https://t.co/967dqiD0S9

Not mentioned in her story is the fact that Miki completed her comeback to gymnastics by winning the MIC Senior Athlete of the Year, USAG Outstanding Senior Athlete, Keiter, and Sopper Awards AND is a 3x All-American! #ItsUIC
