I am so much different from most people on this site in what I feel are amazing ways of uniqueness. For 16 years of my life before enduring 2 incredibly painful surgeries, my face was disfigured. At 15 years old, I got a brain tumor, I had surgery to determine whether it was benign or not, and luckily it wasn't malignent (benign). The most eye opening thing in my lfie happened to me in the I.C.U after my brain surgery. A baby across the hall from me was terminally ill. It showed me that even if I was going to die from this brain tumor, at least I had gotten to live for 15 years. I was forever changed.
