New year new me! Literally. On the 20th I will have a brand new Immune system. I would've already had one but God for some reason decided the time was not right. So due to God's decision I have been in the hospital for an entire month experiencing surgeries and extra things that really I would've lived happily without. My dad and I were talking about my current situation, and I kept saying that it "sucks." Which is totally understandable, I am in a situation that just down right sucks. Even my pastor used the term. My dad however wasn't having it. He kept telling me that I am in a situation that is "challenging." I thought to myself, he simply cannot understand my situation, it sucks. It is not a challenging situation, it is a sucky place to be, challenging is an understatement. AP Bio is challenging, Aplastic Anemia sucks. Then I said it out loud, "this is challenging," and it made my situation seem like something I wanted to overcome despite how hard it is. It made me want to be able to say at the end of this journey that I battled super rare illness and still did well in school. I want to be able to say that I saw this as a challenge and I accepted it. That way of looking at my life motivated me to get things done, not to sit around feeling sorry for myself. To show people that I don't need their sympathy, that if something needs to be done I will do it with a smile on my face and a goal of overcoming whatever cards I am dealt. I believe I can do this.
