One Day That Changed Whole My Life
One day that changed my whole life.

I was 25 years old when I was diagnosed with cancer. It was at a time when I was doing what I did best – dancing and I was taking a course to become a future color and style advisor. I had been working on it for almost two years, I grew to the level that I could easily record the dance steps and I built up the necessary condition. In fact I lived and breathed dance and style but nearing the summer of 2007, I was getting really fatigued and wasn’t able to attend all classes of the Color and style course. I had to be absent on the final testing. I didn’t know what was going wrong with me.

During the beginning of that year I had been several times to the general practitioner for symptoms like severe fatigue. He took blood samples but the blood results gave no complications. I struggled through and I went to Morocco for 2 weeks with my parents to clear my head after being fired due to the fact that I called in sick many times. On vacation I began having horrible coughs. My uncle pointed out to me that I had a cough like a smoker and he heard me coughing when I was sleeping, and advised me urgently to go to the doctor. One day I needed to go on my own from Casablanca to Marrakech to see some interesting sights. In the train I suddenly began crying, without reason. The only thing I felt was that I was in a state of being totally lost. Once in Marrakech I was overtired, I thought it was because of the heat. Speaking to my friends through internet and having need of them in this difficult time, I decided to go back home earlier to join them on a famous festival in Belgium. One night during that festival I woke up coughing so hard that I had to vomit out of my tent. Again I thought of other things such as bronchitis because of the humidity in our tent. A best friend Tessa was so worried and said very loudly: ‘’You must go urgently to your general practitioner!”.

After the festival I went right away to my general

    Eventually they concluded that cancer was a possibility. The doctor also didn’t help with any of this new upcoming stress (but then again it’s not their job). He closed the door, hunched over in his seat, took of his glasses, and in a stern voice told me and my father “we don’t want to scare you but we might be looking at cancer here”. Of course my heart was ready to pound out of my chest due to the immense stress and fear of living with cancer. I’m already an anxious kid and now being told that I could have cancer just made me fear life in itself. Now picture this: you’re a 16 year old where everything is eventually taken away, no more baseball, positive vibes, and stress affecting my performance in school on top of being told I could possibly be living with cancer for the rest of my life. How would I make it anywhere in life when I couldn’t even think straight due to this fear and stress? However even with this news, I took some time to meditate and figure out myself. With this time I contemplated many depressing things. Such as how my funeral would be, who would be there, and who would be sad. With time the doctors confirmed that it was only a scare and that the source was something else that could be…

    When we hear about someone who has cancer, we all ask ourselves “Why them? Why did this happen to them?” I asked myself the same question when I found out the truth that changed the rest of my life. I will never forget the day I found out my Grandpa has Cancer. I remember the day thoroughly, my dad and I were in the car driving home. Hours before, my mom and I had gotten in a fight and my dad said to me, “Please try and be nice to your mom. She is going through a rough time, your grandpa has Cancer.” These words would repeat in my mind every day for the rest of my life. My Grandpa has Leukemia, a type of Cancer where you produce too many white cells and you are unable to fight off infections. However, this is not the only time I have heard…

    My Socioeconomic Divide

    Most of my childhood was spent in the middle of nowhere, in trailers and small houses in the woods or on busy roads where rent was affordable. Since most of our money was funneled into house payments and other bills, I was provided with few outside opportunities for personal growth in which many of my peers participated, such as sports or competitions. In addition, my parents could not afford the medical care that they so desperately needed. This lead to something of a domino effect, where our living conditions and health entered a downward spiral. Our homes continued to grow smaller and more ramshackle with each new downsize in rent. Without proper exams and medical care, my mother’s cancer developed rapidly and by the time she was finally…

    Around three years ago from today my grandma was given the news that tore our family up. She was told she had around two in half years to live due to cirrhosis of the liver. She had a special case because cirrhosis of the liver is more common due to drinking too much alcohol. My grandma never drank a day in her life. Cirrhosis of the liver is a slowly progressing disease that replaces healthy liver tissue with scar tissue. Eventually the liver can no longer function. This news came as a shock to all of us and was hard to take in. We were heartbroken because my grandma lived to go to her grandchildren’s activates and at times she was too weak to go. The disease may not of been looking like it was taking a lot way from her and our family, but it was eating all of us alive inside. We knew this disease was like a ticking time bomb and not a day went by that we didn’t think about the outcome.…

    Not many people can look back in their lives and pinpoint some exact moments that changed their lives. And to find the most important moment of all those moments is a hard thing to do for most of them. For me, I had two very important moments that had a huge impact on my life which are Participating in January 25th revolution and Joining the AUC. However, I find Joining the AUC is more important as it was a part of the influence I had that made me wanting to participate in the revolution. Joining the AUC was a very hard decision to make; it took a very long time to get it done. We have to go back to the beginning of the story, which can be divided to four phases of my life.…

    It is difficult for me to explain a situation that has impacted my life. When God created the earth he decided that every person would be different, some big others small, some thick others thin. He also decided that everyone would have different behaviors. Some people would be shy and calm with little talking, while others the total opposite loud and more extravagant. Between all these categories I represent the shy and calm, for this reason it is very hard for me to express an impacting moment in my life. The most impacting moment in my life occurred many years ago when I started living my life fully and felt complete. My parents decided to register me to a public school in the city Guayama and I did not dominate well the language Spanish. For me this news was very impacting. One of the reasons I was scared of learning a second language I didnt dominate, another reason was losing all the friends I had made and had kept me company for many years but the major reason was leaving the house in the military base Roosevelt roads.…

    Did you know that one of the most dangerous creatures in the ocean can be found right off the coast of Canada? I'm talking about the terrifying Great White Shark. They have about 3,000 teeth that are in rows. The first two rows are for grabbing and cutting. The sharks eat seals, fish and sea lions. Sometimes sharks attack humans because they may think they are seals, especially if they see a shadow of surfers on top of the water. Sharks don't usually eat humans; they just bite them viciously to see if they're tasty. Human bones have been found in the gut of captured sharks, but never a full human skeleton. So watch out for fins in the water the next time you're at the beach.…

    When I was a kid I was abused by my father and stepfather. I have been put through walls and windows. When I would get into trouble with my dad he would use a belt or a two by four on me. If I was with my mom and my stepfather was in a bad mood or I did something wrong or if I got anything below a b in school, I would get hit or I would have to choose between a branch off a rose bush, a belt, and a wrench. It made me so mad that this was happening and people around me that knew what was going on did nothing. I became very angry it got to the point that I learned how to block out the pain. My anger arose so fast I needed to release this anger that began to consume my life. Abuse is what I knew, I began picking fights with anyone that I could find or anyone that said something to make me mad.…
