                 My name is Marcelina Rose-Marie Barona, I am 17 years old and I have a boyfriend who I've been with for about two months, two wonderful tall friends who sometimes make me feel self conscious because of their height and weight, two loving parents and three wonderful sisters. My life is not perfect but it's great, I have nothing to complain about. A lot of people don't get my political views but that's okay, everyone doesn't have to agree with me, quite in fact no one does. I always stand up for what I believe in. If I could change one thing about my life it would be how often me and my boyfriend fight. We fight like every other day but I guess it's okay though most of my friends say it's unhealthy and causes me a lot of stress. Usually I just blow the stress off but it's gotten to the point where I can't quite do that anymore. I've been feeling really sick lately, my hair is falling out, I'm always tired, and I feel like I have a constant migraine in the back of my head. I tell my parents but they tell me sleep it off or take Advil. The headaches went away for awhile and so did my stress kind of but I'm still always sleepy. I have noticed I have an extreme lack of appetite too but I'm glad I'm not eating as much because now I won't gain all the weight I'm losing now back. I don't know how either but I've lost 15 pounds in the past two months and I don't exercise. I begged my parents enough to bring me yo the doctors because I have been feeling sick once again and the headaches are worse.
                 We were probably at the doctors for a good three and a half hours before I got checked only to find out there's nothing wrong with me. He told me if they continued to happen then I should go back because I might have to get X-rays done. I heard X-rays are dangerous though and I don't know if I want one, he told me that it was necessary and I needed to do it if it continued. When we left it started again but I ignored it because it could possible go away. I went back to school the next day and when I got done walking down the stairs and going to my second period I felt A by dizzy. All I remember is hearing a loud thud, feeling some pain in my back, and then closing my eyes. When I woke up I was in the hospital and the doctor was talking with my parents. I asked the nurse what happened and I apparently blacked out at school because my blood pressure was low and so was my sugars. The doctor came in and said hello and I asked him when I could be released. He said "unfortunately with your condition we have to keep you in for awhile" he walked out and I asked the nurse what "condition" I was in and she didn't respond, she just shrugged. I started freaking out of course because another 30 minutes passed by and I was still in the hospital not knowing what I was being held for and I just see my parents outside hugging each other and my mom looks like she is crying. I yelled for the nurse and asked her if she could get my mom, and that she did.
"Yes Nana?" Yes, my mom calls me Nana.
"Why are you crying?" I asked. "Baby" she says without trying to cry, then looks at my dad and gives him the motion to tell me. "Marcelina, you have a tumor in the back of your head and the doctors thinks it could be cancerous. He said that until they know for sure where it is, you have to stay in the hospital so they can monitor you at all times and make sure you're okay." He said with the most straight face so I knew he wasn't kidding. "I might have a cancerous tumor?" I say with a frown "I have to stay here while they try to figure out where it is? What about my school work what about all the-" I try to say before the doctor cuts me off "Well, you will be stuck here so we will have to withdrawal you or either have them send your work over here." he says as if I quitting school is an option. "Tell them send it over here I don't want to quit high school because of a tumor." I say highly upset.
                 It was time for me to sleep but I couldn't stop and wonder what was gonna happen to me and Pete, my boyfriend, if I do have cancer then I will have to break up with him because it's too much for me. How will I stay in contact with Beatrice or Christina, my best friends, will they cut me off because I no lover associate with them because I'm too busy battling cancer? Or will they stand by my side to help me fight it. Just when I thought things were getting better they just get worse. I can never win.
