【一】
When I was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years back, I reacted like most who receive a cancer diagnosis and the first thing that came to mind was a “death sentence”. __1__, instead of complaining, I decided to look for the __2__ side of it.
I realized that I was about to __3__ a new beginning. I knew that I had to develop and gain __4__ from all my experiences. Even with the pain I had to __5__ through each diagnosis, and all the __6__ I’ve dealt with all my life, I still felt truly lucky. I __7__ myself that I still have my life, so why am I to __8__?
One day, I had an unusual experience. I turned that experience into a __9__ and I called it “Peace”. Writing had become therapy (治疗) for me. I took that poem, along with many others I had __10__ during my breast cancer period and placed them in book form. I was __11__ enough to have that book published. I later had another inspirational children’s book __12__, with a third one __13__. I’m hoping that anyone who has the chance to read my first book of poems will benefit from it. My poems are from the heart, and I wish to have a positive __14__ on someone who’s ill. I __15__ believe when you survive a serious __16__ like cancer, it’s for a reason, and I want to live to __17__ exactly what that is for me.
That’s what I’m all about now, inspiration. I would have __18__ become a writer, producing inspirational poems and stories, if I had not gone through all that I did. I’m a true example that you can __19__ cancer, as long as you have faith and allow that faith to __20__ your path.
