"You beat cancer by how you live, why you live and and the manner in which you live."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - This year has been full of some unfortunate events for family and friends and many of them revolve around Cancer. I have known personally of a couple of people who have passed away this year and 2 more special women currently battling breast cancer. These people all had and have one thing in common. They are believers. They have this,strength and inner peace inside of them that reminds you they will be okay. One of the boys in class is directly affected by someone in his family going through chemo and the diagnosis itself. He is 8 years old and worries about her. But, he knows she is strong and has shared, "even though she looks kinda like a boy he says, she is still so pretty." My students made 2 women I know currently fighting a bouquet of flowers made out of paper that are colorful and full of positive words since we were studying adjectives.
These kids and teenagers I'm surrounded by have reminded me that Cancer does not have to define your life. Cancer can do a lot to people but it cannot stop you from believing and loving life around you.
