Alex Brown’s favorite class at Flowery Branch High School has always been history. The 19-year-old senior has a personal history of his own that can be used as a case study in how to persevere through challenges. Brown was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML), an uncommon blood-cell cancer that more often affects adults, according to the American Cancer Society.
