Illness

A topic we discussed in class was about illnesses. It was said that when you have an illness that causes treatment you look at your body different. Now I can not really say yes that is true or no that isn’t, but I feel like if I did have a disease I would try my hardest not to let it effect my life and who am I. You were the same person before the disease so why can’t you find it in you to be the same without? Both set of my grandparents (from my mom’s side and from my dads) have diabetes, and my grandma on my dads side says she still feels the same, she just knows that she has to give herself a shot and watch what she eats! I think there are still ways to do things the way you use to do it before you got your illness. I mean there are people in wheelchairs that will never be able to walk again, but they don’t let that stop them from going out and playing sports. In middle school I was on the basketball team, and for a rec. thing we played basketball in wheelchairs against kids that really had to be in wheelchairs. They were so excited to play and they were really fast to. They were also really good. So I don’t think an illness should keep you from feeling like yourself, its just another obstacle that your facing in life.
