OK... I am 17. That might seem like i have my life ahead of me, but my life doesn't really look like it will get any better.
I have a host of diseases that are always plaguing me. I can randomly have fits of cyclic vomiting syndrome, in which i will vomit with no end in sight anywhere from 5-100 hours. I have severe asthma, and i also have Swachmann Diamond Syndrome. So i am plagued by vomiting, asthma attacks,hip displasia (for which i have had 5 surgeries) and a screwed up digestion and immune system because of SDS.
Despite missing over 65 days of school last year, i was still able to complete grade 11, even getting honors with distinction. But when i miss a day, i get stressed. In the end my day is like this:
Go to school. Have to catch up on chem,have to do math test at lunch, but also need to practice violin for concert tomorrow.
I am involved in far too many things, yet my parents (who are nice and well off) wont let me drop anything (two orchestras(clarinet and violin), grade 10 piano lessons, two choirs, Martial arts,skiing,sailing,two types of dance classes (tap and ballet) and on top of this my homework from all my advanced level course, AP Geo,AP Bio,AP Chem, AP English Lit, AP Calculus, AP Physics.
I feel like i am drowning in a sea of assignments and activities. I feel stressed.
I feel dead.
