Ariel — Lindsay Anderson

When I was sixteen years old, I was diag-nosed with Leu-kemia. From then on, every-thing chan-ged. Instant-ly, I was admitted into the oncolo-gy hospital that was located in the medical center that my parents owned. Twelve surger-ies and one blood trans-fusion later, I am still here. You may think that I feel angry about my situ-ation all of the time, but I don't. Sure, I have my bad days, but I also have very good ones, too.Before I know what is happen-ing, Nurse Gwen and Dr. Jill are making their way into my room.Ready, sweet-ie? Dr. Jill asks giving me a gentle smile.Ready.I reply, getting ready for them to roll me to my thirteen-th surgery.
