Can you spot anything wrong with me? I may look like a freak, i may have caterpillar eye brows, and i may look like a Hollister jerk. Maybe i am? But could you ever guess i have Leukemia? Could you pick out i was dying, and i am going to die. Can you see the pain i live with, the scars, the trust i don’t have? The answer is no.
I look ordinary, i act ordinary. I work in Hollister, i go to school, I drive, I have hobbies, friends and family. But i spend weeks in hospital, getting chemo, treatment and help. I go into relapse and i become weaker and weaker. But all of you would have probably just judged a book by its cover. Most do. I get stereotyped for a “perfect person” i have money, a nice car, i’m deputy head boy, i can play sport and i am a hard working student. No one ever looks into the inside of me. It’s wrong, and people should be more aware of what cancer effects.
I have cancer, i have had it for years and it will effect everyone. So stop just thinking everyone is perfect because they look happy. The people that look happy will always be the sad ones.
