My second chance Hey, everyone!!! :D It's been soooo long! I almost forgot about this site :( sorry! I didn't really mean to be inactive for so long, but things just got....complicated, I guess. Well, I guess I should start by explaining what's been going on. Hmm, where to start? Well, first off! I am now a Junior (3rd year high school) and already loving it. I got my license so I'm "technically" allowed to drive. (hehe, no car insurance) I dont have my own car yet, but at least I have a car. My dad went to Iraq to work for my brothers' and my college funds. Oh! Speaking of college! I am so excited!! I want to be a pharmacist so badly!!! Just thinking about college and starting a life on my own makes my blood pump! OMG! So excited!! Hehe, well that's my dream. But when I turned 17 in September 2011, I had to postpone my dream. 30 days after I turned 17, I was diagnosed with cancer (A disease that could have ended my life). When I hear the word cancer I think of my hair falling out and death and sadness. It's extremely shocking, I know. But it's not so bad now. Before I would cry in my mommy's arms and beg the doctors to let me go home. I finally did, but I still cried at the thought of not going back to school, missing my friends, having my hair fall out, going through chemotherapy. It was all sad and it made me cry every night ever since. But I've met so many people along the way. Amazing and fun nurses and doctors. Kids my age going through the same thing. And even though I cant really see my friends at school, they visit all the time and we talk no stop. The journey has been rough, but its an extremely great experience. I'm still fighting cancer now, but I know with faith, prayers, and a strong heart I'll be able to defeat it! Just watch me!! Haha!! Send me your prayers and I'll love you forever! I can't fight this fight alone, so will you join me? :3 Thanks for listening to my story. Hopefully, I'll be more active here and keep you guys updated! :) See you guys later!!
