What is my personal philosophy? Honestly I never really thought about it before. Being a 17-year-old girl the only things I really think about are boys, being with my family, and finishing high school. But if I really thought about it then I would have to say that my personal philosophy would be to be thankful for each day and not take a day for granted.
When my mom was diagnosed with cancer it really showed me how your life can just be taken away from you. To actually be faced with the possibility that each day could be your last is probably the scariest thing in the whole world. I don’t know how my mom got threw it and fought cancer. When I ask her she just says that each day she would wake up and have a positive attitude about it. She learned that you can’t take your life for granted. You can’t take the simple things for granted most of all. She said that just waking up in the morning was something that she cherished.
My mom is the strongest woman I know. She is my best friend and she has taught me everything that I know. The biggest lesson being that you have to love life. Be thankful to be alive. Be thankful for the simple things in life and to treat each day like it could be your last.
