My Childhood With Cancer

My paper is called "Bad things happen to good people."

When I was in school my English teacher asked me to write an essay about what event shaped me to be the person I'am today. And I chose my leukaemia journey.

I got an A on it and I showed it to my family. My grandad loved it and took it to our local newspaper. They loved it as well and decided to publish it.

Soon enough the city Bulletin paper that was an hour away from my little town that I lived in, called me up and asked if they could publish it as well and interview me and my brother. I said yes and we went and gave the interview and also soon after that, the Sydney Daily Mail rang me asking if they could publish it as well. I was astonished and I accepted.

When I first wrote this paper I was still considered fresh out of my cancer journey and I was still traumatised from it I didn't remember much. But over the years I started to remember a bit more as my mental health got better. So I re-edited it and here it is.
