Ok course, Blog-Mania narrator! At school we have been learning and studying about our family, and one of the things we had to do was bring in a treasure of yours or your family's and share it and someone in the class would video! After we had shared our treasures we had to write a story about the treasure and it was called an "Anecdote". So, today I am here sharing with you my anecdote! Enjoy!
My Treasure
This is about my favourite book and about my hero, Jake Bailey. The story is about how he fought one of the most aggressive cancers ever known.
Jake Bailey is 20 years old now. When he caught cancer he was only 18 and hadn't even finished high school. The cancer he caught was so bad, he lost over 20 kg just by throwing up and because he couldn't eat because, he had massive tumors where his wisdom teeth used to be in his gum. The tumors in his kidneys were the size of giant grapefruits! He couldn't really feel his face!
This is my favourite part in the book. Picture this: It was the night of his prize giving and he is Head Boy at his school and he wasn’t really up to going but then one of the nurses came in and Jake told her “I’m not going.” then the nurse said “Ok, just as long as you don’t regret it.” and that really got Jake. He decided to go, then he decided not to, then he decided he would and it was all just a big mess. But yet again the nurse said “Ok, just as long as you don’t regret it after.” and he finally decided full stop, he was going. But he looked like a mess, considering he had been in bed for over 2 weeks he hadn't shaved or nothing, so when he went to shave he started throwing up but he kept on shaving because he really wanted to go to the prizegiving.
So once he had done everything and through up a few times, he went to get dressed….but then when he put his suit on he realized that, the suit he was wearing, fit him when he was 20 kg heavier! Nothing fit him, even his shoes didn't but he suckered up and wore the suit. As they were leaving and going down the elevator he started throwing up over and over again and then his mum said “You’re not going. I’m stopping this elevator and we are going back up.” but then Jake stopped her and this is my favourite part, he said “No mum, I am head boy and I am going to this prizegiving no matter what you say. OK?”
Thank you for listening to my anecdote about my treasure and my hero, Jake Bailey.
