Part One: The Diagnosis

When you are sick you think, "I'll take some medicine and get better." Sometimes that's not always the case.

My name is Naomi. I am seventeen years old and I have Leukemia. I was diagnosed when I was only seven years old. Ten years I have been fighting off and on with my own body. My days are limited right now. I don't even know if I will be here long enough to tell my story, but I want to try to tell you about this wonderful life I've been blessed enough to live. Let's start with when I was first diagnosed.
