It was at a young age, after losing my father and being diagnosed with a chronic illness, the realization was made that life is unfair. In the same instance I learned that life does not stop for any one person. Being thirteen and having to cope with the loss of my father along with being in and out of the hospital was very difficult. Jaleria Gibson is my name, seventeen years of age, and I am a native of Selma, Alabama.

The transition from eighth grade to ninth grade is one of the most difficult but unforgettable things a student must do in his adolescence. For me, it was filled with new opportunities of taking Ap classes and joining clubs. One of these cubs was Youth and Government (Y&G).

In the fall of 1999 his doctor diagnosed my grandfather with terminal lung cancer. I was there that day when she showed him the x-rays of his upper body. Right on the outer edge of his left lung was a large white spot about an inch round, tendril-like rays shot out from it in all directions, and a tail curved over to the right side of his lung so that it resembled a meteor falling from the sky. I was there as his interpreter, translating the doctor 's words into Spanish. "Surgery is not an option...

The biggest wish I have is for there to be a harmless cure for cancer. I wish this because in the past couple years/months people with the biggest hearts always seem to die of some certain kind of cancer.

The day of July 21, 2014 I learned a very important life lesson that will stick with me until the day I die; my eyes were opened to a new way of living. I remember the day clearly, as if a movie screen was perched in front of me and that treacherous day was playing in a loop.

It was very early in the morning, and I found myself feeling very confused why my mother was mourning, as I had only seen her cry once in my 14 years of age.

I have a scar above my left eyebrow from when I fell from a tree when I was five years old. I landed face-first on a particularly pointy rock.
