Worst Day of My Life Essay

Cancer Scare It was on a Friday when it happened to me. We were driving to Wawa like we do any other day, listening to “Sorry” by Justin Bieber. My mom was driving pretty quiet, which was very unlike her. I knew something wasn’t right because she usually drives with one hand and now she's driving with two gripping on the wheel like her life depends on it.

morning felt like a burden that could barely be moved, crushing my soul at every waking moment; and one morning, there was nothing. Not a single bit of struggle, no burden, and no soul crushing. That moment has forever marked the time when I can say I overcame my hardest challenge yet: depression. The morning I woke up, feeling good about myself, feeling as if the world was at my fingertips, changed my life in ways nothing else has.
