Maya talks about having to leave school and move back home with her parents.
Transcript
I dropped out of school when I was 18. I moved home with my parents. I ended up living with my parents for a lot longer that I wanted too. My undergraduate degree took me 6 years to finish because when I actually received a transplant I had to drop out again and then I had some courses to finish.
