The Story of a Champion

I read a story of an amazing woman named Marion Luna Berm.When marion was 30years old,she was diagnosed as having cervical and breast cancer.She had a cervix removed.And then her breasts.

and then on to the very painful chemotherapy.

Evenwith the chemo.doctors gave her only two to five years to live.

            that wasn't all.She had other problems.

             first,while her chemo,her merriage ended.Cancer had taken its toll not only on her body but also on her merriage.Her husband divorced her.

              second,she was in a financial hole.She owed $500,000 in medical bills.

               third,she had no job.She had been a housewife most of her life.How can she now feed hwr two boys?

                 One day,she was having a really bad day with the chemo.She was mostly on her knees,kneeling on her bathroom floor,hugging the toilet bowl.She had been vomiting the entire day.Ahe felt absolutely awful.

Meanwhile,she could hear her two kids making a lot of noise in the kitchen.And tgen she smelled something burning.

her two kids entered the bathroom,holding a pan of macaroni and cheese."don't worry,mom,"the oldest said,

"only the bottom is burned.We can still eat the top part."

Right at that moment,something clicked in marion's heart.She knew that dying wasn't an option.She placed a powerful belief in her heart.She believed she must not die.

She could not!And she pulled herself up from the floor.

That was a difining moment for her.

Though still weak,she put on a cheap wig and a prothesis in her bra,and went out apply for a job.

She knocked on the door for a car dealership and applied to sell cars.

She literally begged for a job,explaining her situation to the man.

She coudn't even enter the dealership.She was told to go away.

After two weeks and 16 rejections,she was inside her car,crying.She was losing hope.

But she held on to her belief.

thos wasn't the end of her story.She wasn't going to end it this way!

And she got out and tired one more time.

And that was when she changed her strategy."I won't tell them that i need a job,"she said,"I'll tell them that they need me!"

She knocked on the door of one more car dealership and said,"I can do something for your company.I can sell

your cara!"She was accepted on the spot.

Once upon a time,a doctor gave her only two to five years to live.

today she is strong and healthy----25years later!

Once upon a time, she was not only penniless;she was buried in a mountain of debt.

Today,marion has built a buisness empire with revenues $45 million a year.And a part of this empire is her very own car dealership!

                                THE END!!!!!
