Leukaemia
Luːˈkiːmɪə/
Noun
Noun: leukaemia a malignant progressive disease in which the bone marrow and other blood-forming organs produce increased numbers of immature or abnormal leucocytes. These suppress the production of normal blood cells, leading to anaemia and other symptoms.
I have leukaemia. Okay so maybe I should introduce myself... Hi I'm Tessa Laurence, just turned 16, and I'm in love.
With Starbucks. Yes I know. Sad life.
I currently live in Costa Rica with my mum Chrissy, my dad Drake and 2 year old twin brothers, Cole and Lennex. I was recently diagnosed with leukaemia and I'm home schooled.
I have blonde hair that's comes to about my hips, huge bright blue eyes and I'm about 5'6. I have curves in all the right places although I hardly show them off. When I was 12 I had braces so now my teeth are perfectly straight.
So let me tell you something about my family.... We're crazy.
My mum, Chrissy, looks just like me, except I'm 1 foot taller.
I get my blond hair and blue eyes of her, but I get my personality from my dad. Mum is laid back and acts more like a teenager than me. She's wild and fun and pretty much lets me do what I want.
My dad, Drake, however has brown hair and brown eyes and stands at about 6'4. And my brothers Cole and Lennex look identical to him. My dad is the stricter one although he also is pretty flexible; he is very funny and intelligent.
When I was younger I started school at the age of six, my parents found out that I had anxiety so I was then home schooled. I had anxiety up until the age of fourteen but was continued to be home schooled.
When we found out I had cancer around 3 months ago my parents decided that we would move to California so that I would have the best treatment possible. I would also start high school there, and I was absolute terrified.
So that's where we are now. On a plane to the U.S. I was currently watching a movie, on one of the small TVs located on the seat in front of you, called the bucket list. As I continued to watch, it got me thinking about what I wanted to for-fill in my life.
So I created my very own bucket list.
1. Have my first kiss under water
2. Go on a road trip
3. Go to a drive in movie
4. Have sex
5. Swim with dolphins
6. Passionately kiss in the rain

12. Learn how to play the piano
13. Go zorbing
