I am the yougest girl of the blackwood children and
saturday i was applying for a school and for the
writing question they asked about something
influential we had learned outside of school. i wrote
about when my mom told me she was diagnosed with
carcinoid cancer I was able to realize what was truly
important in life. Little problems were no longer
significant because i realized they not only didnt
matter but they were preventing me from seeing the
good things present in my life. i realized that it was
in the abscense of my mom's good health that i came to
appreciate so much more everything she did for me and
what she is able to do. I found importance in loving
my mom and her presence in my life rather than the
little things that are not important. Despite my
mother being diagnosed with carcinoid she seems as if
she is invincible and takes a positive look at
everything. she is still able to be an awesome mom who
always seem to go the extra mile for her kids and shewill always be my mother and my hero.

Anna,
You are so lucky to have a family that is supportive and also doesn't worry about the small things. Working with your brother makes me realize that having a supportive family is part of life that doesn't always happen. Others can be part of your extended family and help if you need them.
Your mom should be your hero, she has done a great job raising you kids. Take care and know that OSHS is only a starting point for a great life.
Dear Anna,
You are such an endearing person; I know that you bring great happiness to your Mom. It is true that there is a special bond between mothers and daughters and that you should recognize this at such a young age is very wonderful.
I am so lucky to know you, Nate, Jesse and your Mom. You are a wonderful family and the strength you give to each other is amazing.
If you ever need to talk, you know you are always welcome in my classroom. Make some special ultimate frisbee memories with your family this summer.
Ms. McMillin
