Hey Everyone,
I hope I'm not asking to much as a newcomer. BUT here it goes...
So I'm a speaker for ALS and terminal illness at my old school. Every year my old English teacher surprises students with my visit while they read the book, Tuesdays with Mori. I talk about what ALS is, answer question, emphasize that it's NOT a cancer, talk about what I've learned, and challenge them to question what they hold important in their day to day lives. BUT I'm still only 19. There's so much I can't answer about living. For a big change this year I wanted to be able to give these students more than just a few words from me. ALS affects everyone, but I'm not everyone. I'm just a small piece in my family's struggle a midst a sea of people struggling with ALS and living.
So if you could- PALS, CALS, and everyone from the ALS community... If you could say anything to these students about living, dying, growing, or anything else that comes with this disease what would it be? What has it been like for you? What would you share?
