我今年55岁,出生于得克萨斯州休斯敦,是一个大家庭中的第7个孩子。尽管兄弟姐妹很多,但我总是想方设法挤出时间让自己去梦想。读高中时,我给自己做的人生计划就是成为一名模特或演员。后来,因婚姻破裂,我得独自抚养孩子,我就一边从事其他职业谋生,一边为我的人生计划做准备。后来,我受到了人生中的第一次毁灭性的打击:我患了乳腺癌。几年后,我又患了结肠癌。这两次经历真的是改变了我整个人生观,而且给了我力量和勇气将我的感受写下来,分享给他人。
I am 55 years old and I was born in Houston, Texas, and I am the seventh child of a large family. Despite the many brothers and sisters, I always find ways to squeeze time to make myself dream. When I was in high school, my life plan for myself was to be a model or an actor. Later, because of the breakdown of the marriage, I had to raise my children alone. As I worked in other professions to make a living, I prepared for my life plan. Later, I was the first devastating blow in my life: I had breast cancer. A few years later, I had colon cancer again. These two experiences really changed my whole outlook on life and gave me the strength and courage to write down my feelings and share them with others.
