March 2017 where to start, this was the worst month of my life. I thought my life was going great
until this month of the year had hit. It all started off with me becoming very ill and being in and
out of urgent cares all around town. When this point of my life was happening I have never have
felt like complete crap before in my life. Throughout this stressful week being sick I really
thought my body was shutting down and I was physically and mentally not going to make it to
the next day. I have all the side effects that you can think of when having the common flu.I
remember my mom telling me that I would have conversation with myself and would been to cry
out of nowhere. During this time my mom felt so sorry for me and wish this would have never
had happened to me. But all I was thinking and worrying about was all the homework that I
would be needing to make up when I returned to school. It would come to the point where even
if I did not feel good I would still force myself to attend school not to have all this makeup work
to complete.Once all this madness was over I finally returned to school and about a few days
later I was sent home with an allergic reaction. With another visit to the doctor it was that I had
the allergic reaction to the medicine I was taking for when I had the flu. So hell begins again
being off for another week of school and this being the week before spring break I wanted to get
all my work so that I can make it all up over my break. At this point in time I really wanted school
to end and not have to go back ever again. So when I was time for spring break I thought I was
going to be able to enjoy myself and have a relaxing vacation but that changed very quickly.
The first Monday of spring break my life was completely changed this is when my father had
passed away. I thought this was no true and this could not be happening to me. With my mom
breaking the news to all the family which was very difficult for her to do being that my mom and
my dad were together since high school. I was speechless and was like what is going to go
wrong in my life next. During this week I was the rock for my little brother and my mother. This is
going to be a life lesson that I will never forget in my life. Due to this happening I have become a
stronger person and a better role model for my little brother also by becoming more of a father
figure for him over these past two years. I have gained from this experience and still continue to
gain as time progresses. I have learned to cherish every moment I have with my family and
friends. And did I mention this happened over the course of one month??
WOW Roman! I'm completely speechless, you're a very strong individual. I may not know you or talk to you but just knowing this about you really touched home for me personally. For these devastating events to not only occur but to all happen in a span of a month is unbelievable. Thank you for being bold enough to share a little bit about you and how you have overcame these obstacles. Great Job!
ReplyDeleteI'm very sorry that this all happened to you. But, I'm glad that you've been able to grow from this experience. Very good writing!

ReplyDeleteYou're very strong and brave and I admire you for that. Your story was very interesting to read, good job!
ReplyDeleteIt takes a lot of courage to be able to talk about all of these events openly, I dont really know you but im sure the way you carry yourself is very strong. Im glad you can be blessed with a positive outlook on how this has shaped you as a person and hope that whatever is in store for you in the future is nothing but the best.
ReplyDeleteRoman, I'm so sorry to hear this happened to you over the course of a month, But I'm glad to hear that at the end of it all you somehow found the best of it and became a stronger person. Great job!
ReplyDeleteAwww Roman, I remember being in your English class when all of this was happening. I would always wonder where you were and finally when you officially came back I jokingly ask you where you had been and then you broke the news to me that your dad had passed. I felt so completely terrible, I never said anything; but, I have always thought of you as a friend and I just hope you know I'm always here for you.

I'm really sorry that you had to go through those horrible events Roman. It was hard reading through your piece because it was so sad; I couldn't help but tear up a bit. But you shared this with us. Even after one month of hell, you chose not to give up. That kind of perseverance is admirable, and I have so much respect for you now. Thank you for sharing Roman. Let's end Senior year strong.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that you can write about something so unfortunate while also being eloquent in your writing is truly awe-inspiring. I'm glad that you've found a way to cope with this event.
ReplyDeletei am so sorry that that you had to go through all of that in such a short amount of time, it is never easy to deal with health issues in the middle of school i can relate to that. and it is even harder to deal with the loss of a parent/loved one. i am so proud of you for being able to share your obstacles. good job on your writing as well
