I''m Not Ready To Die

Article Abstract by: JohnnyWilder    

Original Author: JohnnyWilder
As soon as I had been born I had already began to die as do we all but in my case I was dying much faster because I was diagnosed
with Cystic Fibrosis. It hadn''t been caused by anything my parents or the doctors had done but because my parents had both carried the right genes of the disease. Throughout my life I have come upon many challenges that I gradually overcome, but the biggest test is still ahead...Death!! With this disease I am going to die, because there is no cure for Cystic Fibrosis. Although many breakthroughs have been established in the past couple years they only prolong my life minimally.  Throughout my life I have went through many stages as we all do, but I have had to deal with life in a different way than most. Because I have Cystic Fibrosis I was not like many of the other students throughout school, having to be taken out of classes daily for physiotherapy and medications. Where as none of the other students had done the same and were always curious about why I would be leaving class mysteriously for twenty - thirty minutes at a time. And with the questions of the students it was even harder to tell them that I had been living with a terminal disease so instead I dropped out of high school and began doing drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, mushrooms, acid. But still I had my problems right behind me always being a loud and constant voice in my head. And it wasn''t until almost my nineteenth birthday that I realized that I was heading the rest of my life down the wrong path.
