"You still going to the fair" asked Logan.
"I guess. What do I have to lose?" I said.
"Good. It's on the list." he reminded me.
The list. It can be used for many things. Groceries, Ransom,Homework. All things the you can use a list for. My list is a bucket list. Although that bucket is getting more and more shallow every day. It would be a lot easier to explain, but you would probably get bored and put the book down and go to a different book like most people do. Well I guess it would make more sense to explain so I will.
Years ago when I was still young and naive, I had dreams to be a famous movie star. I mean what little seven year old doesn't. But at the age of ten all of those dreams were crushed by heart wrenching news. I was diagnosed with a untreatable kind of cancer. It would spread throughout my body and eventually kill me. They could give me medication to slow down the process, but not stop it. The max age it would work until was 19. Then the medication would stop working. So my everyday life turned into taking pills every day twice a day. I wanted to be like other kids, talking about what their wedding day would look like, talking about their future jobs. But none of that would happen to me. I wouldn't be able to experience all of these things. I would miss out on everything life had to offer.
My mom always tells me to trust in god and that I would be cured. But sometimes it is difficult to trust someone you can't see. But I always have to remember to have faith. My family has a strong line of cancer. My mom is a breast cancer survivor. She is my hero and I wish I could be as lucky as her. But not everyone is that lucky.
Now let's tell you more about me. I am 18 years old and I am a senior in high school. I go to Klahowya secondary school. I have the best friend at school named Logan. He is practically my brother. He is the most popular senior in the school. He has dark brown hair, hazel eyes, and he is 6-3". He is the exact opposite of me. I have blonde hair, brown eyes, and I am 4-11". When I first moved to the school I knew that we would be friends. Me the dork and him the jock that all the girls drool over. Something about a guy with freckles girls love. I never understood that.
