One Year to Live

            It’s an average school day on a Wednesday and I have to travel to Vancouver for my yearly check up thinking that it’s just another boring trip to the hospital. When I arrive at the hospital I am shocked to find out that I have been diagnosed with leukemia and that I only have one year to live. As soon as I find this out I think to myself “I don’t want to die” but unfortunately it’s all true. When we leave the hospital I start to plan out what I want to do before I die. I would stay and finish my schooling and graduate, and I will try my hardest to not let my feelings get the best of me in front of my friends and family. My goals before I die would be to do everything I possibly could. I would go out and party with my friends every night, I would spend as much time with my family as I could knowing they are the most important  people in my life. The most important things in my life are my family and friends. They have been so helpful in my life when it comes to family loss or a girl breaking up with me and I would spend as much time with them as possible weather it’s going to parties or going to a movie with them I would do everything with them before I die. I would look at life differently by thinking about how much fun it would have been if I could live longer than a year but because I cant I have to look forward to the year that I have left and look at all the upsides of life an look at the things I can do before I leave the world. Life can bring you lots of things but when you only have a year left to live go out and live your life to the fullest and don’t stop till you have to.
