Abstract
This is the story of a girl who refused to give up, no matter what. The words tell the story of sadness, bravery, loss, sacrifice, and pain, but also of enormous happiness, devotion, and the realization that the extraordinary is to be found in the smallest things we do every day.
My name is Magda and I’m 21 years old. I was a patient many times and now I try to see how it is on the other side by studying nursing at the University of Medical Sciences in Poland. I’m also a volunteer in one of the oncology departments. I have a younger sister, who always makes me laugh, and my mother, who is with me whenever I need her. I love reading, traveling, learning new things and writing from time to time. I try to help a little and do some good whenever I have the chance, believing that nothing is impossible.
This story took me back to the very beginning of my life. I never imagined it would be that difficult but I’ve decided to write it because if there is anyone I can help in that way, I want to do it.
