People get sick from changes in the climate and sometimes from allergies. In my case I do not even know which one it is; but I know that I do not have allergies that I know about. I have been sick for a week now and I cannot deal with it any longer. I tried everything but, it seems like I have to deal with it until it is time for it to go. Every day I feel worse than the precedent day, I am at this point where I do not even care about it anymore. This week has been the worse and the best. It was the worse because I was sick all week and I am still sick. It was the best because I became 18 years old on Wednesday, which was one of the best day that I had all week. I spent the whole day with my friends, even though my family was not there but they were in spirit. My friends from The Regis Glee Club sang me ‘’ Happy Birthday’’, they had a party and we ate cake. It was the best, the only day that I had fun and was feeling a little better. The next day I woke up, I felt like I was going to die, I felt worse; I was coughing, my teeth were hurting me and my head felt like it was going to explode.
The only good thing that I can take out of this week is that I saw who was really my true friends and who were the ones that were there only for the good times. All my true friends stood by my side during this unpleasant week, they took care of me and showed me that they care. They were all there even though I did not need them. This sickness helped me a lot this week. For some reason, it seemed to me that I have more determination to do my work and get them done than when I am not sick. I noticed that while being sick, working out is good for anyone who does not feel well; even if you think that sickness is making you weak and you need to rest. In my case it was not like that. Throughout the week, I figured out that working out gives me strength and energy which made me want to work out more so I can be able to do my homework after the workouts. I loved working out before, but I did not know that I could help with sickness and will keep doing that whenever I am sick or not feeling well.
I do not like being sick, but if it helps me to motivate myself so I can get everything that I have to do done then being sick will help me a lot throughout the year. At first I was discouraged about being sick, after everything that I have been through this week I realized that being sick is not so bad. Do not take sickness as a punishment.
