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.
