Perseverance | Free Book
Can you imagine being in high school or college and suddenly
learning you have cancer? You thought you had a lifetime ahead of
you and the whole world at your feet, but suddenly you're told...
maybe not. How would you cope?
That's the question the
twenty young people in this book had to answer when they were
diagnosed with childhood cancer. Perseverance tells of their
trials and tribulations, of their triumphs, and of the unique
challenges that day-to-day college life brings them.
Perseverance also provides an intimate look at the lives and
journeys of these young people and how their courage and strength
have affected the lives of others.
These honest,
first-person accounts lend amazing depth to the inspiring stories of
these young men and women. Inside, you'll meet Zac York, who tells
of climbing Mount Whitney—on crutches—after battling brain cancer.
You'll meet Alex Oden, who—just days after brain surgery—gave his
8th grade peers a graduation speech called "A Day Well Spent," in
which he challenged them to make a difference in just one day.
You'll meet Kristen Jones, who, while battling leukemia, was able to
pass the MCAT and pursue her dream of becoming a pediatric
oncologist.
Twenty unique and fascinating stories, with
one common theme: perseverance. The stories of these heroes
demonstrate how anyone can learn to live with energy and passion,
regardless of the obstacles to be faced, and will remind us all that
now is everything.
