The Worst Day Of My Life

Decent Essays
The worst day of my life started on June 29, 2015. This is the day I found out my mom had been diagnosed with breast cancer. That day was all a funk to me. At the time, I didn 't know how to handle any of it. I had so much on my mind, like if school would be any different, or would my friends talk to me different? I didn 't want any sympathy because it would just bring all the thoughts of bad things happening to my mom buzz around my head.

I could finally go hang out with friends and spend the night at people 's houses again. I thank God that JCMG took care of my mom and made sure she was better to take care of me when I need it. It has changed my life and made me look at everything different. It has taught me to not take any day for granted because no day is promised. It has also taught me to raise awareness for people who were just like my mom and need help just like my mom needed help. I hope one day we will have a cure for this terrible
