I have learned many lessons throughout my life . I have learned how to dance in the rain . Life is going to throw hurdles in your way , and it's up to you on how you want to conquer those hurdles. You could either quit , or you could keep going . Sometimes life isn't fair , but life is absolutely beautiful. I'm so thankful that I am alive, and I get to experience life . I've also learned to be grateful and happy . I'm grateful for all of the surgeries and hospitalizations because they have made me a stronger person. My doctors and nurses are amazing , and I'm so grateful I have them . Finally , I've learned to be happy even in the unfortunate circumstances you may be in . I was always a happy child even in the hospital. I've learned to look at the positives in my life no matter what is going on .
