Sara's fight with cancer

I was deadly sick. I was 15 years, when I got cancer. I was scared, because if anybody found out, they would feel sorry for me.

I walked into the new class and I tried to act normal, even though I was carrying on a big pain. A pain that was about to kill me. Physically and mentally. The cancer started in my lungs and spread to the rest of my body. I was taking chemotherapy and wore a wig.

"Sara, you can sit next to Yasmin". I went to the girl and sat. "Hello" said Yasmin. She stared at me and I was nervous that she noticed anything.

Me and Yasmin became good friends. "Are you afraid of death?" I asked. “Not really. Those who have been sick for a long time or accident. They are very unfortunate people.” She said. I blinked to hold back the tears. “But people who are sick do not have to die” I said. "No off course not. You're a good person, so that will never happen to you.” said Yasmin.

Later we said goodbye. ”I almost forget I'm sick when I'm with her" I said. That night I got really bad. My body shook and I screamed in pain. My mom drove me to the hospital. I was hospitalized. I felt tired. But I was afraid of never waking up again. "Mom, I will not die" I cried and fell asleep. My mom told Yasmin my secret and she came and visited me.
