Hero

Hey lovelies, today or tonight or whenever you are reading this, I am going to be talking about the word hero and what it means to me and how it is now a part of my everyday life. When I was younger I had no idea that I would get diagnosed with such a serious disease, let alone be fighting for my life at such a young age and having to grow up and challenge some pretty difficult things. When I was in my moms english class, because yes fun fact in 9th grade I had my mom as my english teacher, we learned a little bit about the hero cycle, we also learned about it more in 10th grade. I can go in depth kinda about the hero cycle but long story short in many ways I can see myself in this cycle and relate to it in my own way with some events that have happened in my life. My mom when she is teaching the cycle to her students, she says that we will all be the hero in our own way to ourselves. I can not believe this but, some people that I know or that have heard my story and all that I have been through, they call me their hero. I just sit back and think, wow, that is something very strong and powerful to be considered someones hero. Because to me I feel like there was no doubt in my mind that I was not gonna give up and let the cancer take over my life. To me the option of quitting or giving up was never an option to me. If you were to ask me who is my hero, I would say that I have multiple heroes that play different types of roles in my life. My mom is one of them and my doctors are also my heroes and my close friends and family members are also apart of my hero grouping. But, who would have thought that this 5 foot 164 pound little crazy Spanish girl who just loves life and loves people would one day become some peoples hero. Overall take a second to sit back and think about who your hero is in your life, or if you are like me and see multiple people playing that role in your life. If you would like me to make a series where I go in depth about the different parts of the hero cycle, just let me know!
