The Life Of Children's Life

I got the news that my aunt, Andrea, a close family member was diagnosed with cancer during the month of July, 2017. Andrea has faced many tough obstacles in her life. Her husband died from a heart attack at the age of 63. Her house was flooded and both of her dogs

When my dad came home that evening he sat me down and asked me if I knew what cancer was. I had an idea so I just nodded my head, he went on to tried to explain to me how bad the cancer was that my mom had been diagnosed with. Seeing my dad so afraid scared me. The fear I felt then led me to realize that I needed to try and hide it because it would only hurt my dad more to see his children so upset. I did my best to help, I tucked my little sisters into bed while my mom was away at the hospital, read them stories and did the best I could at preparing snacks to comfort them. After my mom arrived home and she recovered from the surgery she started chemotherapy. The miserable treatment that attacks the cancer also makes her very ill. Every other week she was sick. Before every bad week I wanted to cry, but that wouldn’t help anyone. Lane and Kenna already were crying, if I cried it could only hurt my parents

Early October 2016 to January 2017, was the hardest time ever in my life. In October we found out that my Grandpa had a very aggressive form of stage four brain cancer. We knew that there was something wrong but we never thought it would be that bad. For the next month, the doctors ran tests, decided on a game plan, and gave results. My grandpa was in severe pain and confusions. We got the results that he would need to go through surgery on his brain to remove the tumor. This was around November 15. That was probably the scariest day of my life. His surgery and I will never forget, was at 12:10 pm. I remember sitting at the kitchen counter and I just prayed for half an hour. After that, I remember going on my computer and searching on Google

Erik Jensen and Nathan Ybanez were both sentenced to life in prison without parole after being charged with felony murder in regards to the death of Nathan’s mother, Julie Ybanez. However, many people believe this sentencing to be too harsh due to the ages of the boys (who were 16 and 17). Many people also believe that Erik Jensen shouldn’t have been given life without parole even if he was an adult because it was never proven that he was involved with the murder, only tampering with evidence, as he helped Ybanez clean up the crime scene and remove Julie Ybanez’s body. Others believe Erik played an equal part of the murder, because he never attempted to intervene, his fingerprints were on the murder weapon, and his knees were covered in Mrs. Ybanez’s blood.

When my dad was around 25 he lost his mom to cancer. It hit him really hard. It couldn't of came at a harder because he had a baby on the way. He knew that he had to stay positive for his family and his sister. His sister was the most devastated of them

My parents told me that I was going to start chemotherapy and that I had to have surgery to put my port in. They said that I would have to stay in the hospital for a while and that I would feel really sick. On december 16,2007 I checked into Children’s hospital in Boston. I figured out what cancer was a couple of months later. I was not a big fan of shots but they gave several of them daily. The worst thing about being in a hospital is that there is nothing you can do to improve your situation. I got used to taking pills because they would give me multiple every day. The worst part about cancer was the fact that I lost my hair.During my beginning phases of Cancer I was told to miss school. I ended up missing 5 months of school while in the first grade. The principle wanted to hold me back a year but my teacher said that I was so advanced that I was able to move to the seond grade anyway.In November of 2008 the Make A Wish foundation granted me my wish of going to Disney World. I had never been outside of Massachusetts so going to Florida as a big deal for me. I had also never been on a plane and people say that your ears start to hurt so I was pretty

After watching the documentary, “When Kids Get Life,” I realized how unfair it is for the kids that have committed crimes. I believe that the kids that have committed murder crimes do not deserve a life sentence. The documentary clearly shows that adults are ignorant about the brain development of a child. As a teenager myself, I would agree that teenagers are more sensitive and ignorant to everyday life. Also, kids are prone to make more mistakes than adults. Being a teenager, it is difficult to understand what is wrong or right because our brain is not fully developed. After hearing why the kids committed the murder, I found it reasonable. I believe that any teenager going through what they went through would have had similar dark thoughts.

When I was five years old I found out my sister, who at the time was two years old, was diagnosed with Cancer. This was a challenge for my entire family.

Both of my grandmothers Charleen and Carol were both diagnosed with deadly diseases when I was in middle school. My grandmother, Carol, had parkensinse and alzheimer’s disease. The condition that she was in made her have to live in a nursing

When I turned 11-years-old my whole childhood began to change my life went from being perfect to everything but perfect. One day I came home to hear the news my father, my best friend; my hero was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. Not knowing the struggle my family was about to take on I just began to cry. I had a million things running through my head what’s going to happen? Will everything be okay? Why him? What is going to happen? With all these things rushing through my head all I could do was cry not knowing this was least worse to come.

My dad got diagnosed with prostate cancer in early 2014. It was a hard year for my family, and I still remember it like it was yesterday. Not even in my worst dreams did I ever see my dad having cancer. The man that I looked up to, and loved to pieces had cancer. I was devastated, I remember crying and being afraid that I was going to lose him to an incurable disease that lurked the lives of many.

Also just last month I lost my grandma to cancer and it was a very difficult time for me because

At the young age of 6 I had grown up seeing my grandmother living a very healthy lifestyle which included yoga and running even when she was 70 years old. Prior to this incident she had never been in any poor health and continued to exercise even after she had been diagnosed with cancer. In my mind it was definite that the cancer would be treated and my grandmother

When I was about 13 years old my parents told me, my grandpa had stage four colon cancer and was going to need treatment as soon as possible. He received radiation, chemo through an IV, and chemo pills to help remove the cancer. He drudged through the tough times so he could reach the quality ones. Sometimes when we go visit, he is sick from the treatment but he pushes through it so we don’t worry about him and so he can spend time with us while we were there. He eventually got his colon removed and the cancer was gone. Although the following year he was once again diagnosed with cancer in his liver twice and would have to remove the cancerous portion of it. We all knew it was getting tough for him to fight off the cancer but he continued to fight for his family and for my grandma. He discarded that cancer and was well for another couple years, until recently he was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer. When my family and I were told the news, it was very upsetting and emotional for all of us because he has been fighting it for so long and it just keeps spreading

Everyone wants to be healthy right? Well my My Nana takes the reasonable want that everyone one us has to be healthy and blows it out of the waters. She came to visit us over the summer and at least once everyday we would hear something about how we need to eat better. Everytime we went out to eat after I ordered I would get that look.
