Wish: Family Vacation

Prior to my diagnosis, I lived my life on a schedule. I liked to stay busy and be productive by working and going to school. My mind was always set on what's next? I was constantly thinking about the future and how I wanted to build my career in electrical engineering. I enjoyed being independent and always doing something, whether that be working, being active, or hanging out with friends and family. I thought life was normal and all I wanted to do was continue to move forward.

Everything I knew to be my life priorities changed overnight when I was diagnosed with lymphoma. All of a sudden, work and routine became my health, treatment, and how I could get through each day with enough energy. Not being able to work was such a weird feeling because I had to adapt my life to doctor's appointments, treatments, and how my body was going to feel each day. It was such a difficult transition knowing that at your age you are supposed to be moving toward independence, not away from it.

However, I have also come out of this experience with a better understanding of myself. I am stronger, more disciplined, and know what is important to me. I have learned how to work through hard days while still trying to keep up with school and thinking about my future. I also value my family and their support more than I used to.

These days I just continue with school as much as I can, stay strong during treatment, and find other ways to stay busy. I may not be able to do the things I used to, but that doesn't mean my goals have changed. If anything I am more hungry to continue moving forward and make the most out of every opportunity that I can..

What Nik's wish are you thinking about and why?

My family has never been able to go on a beach vacation and especially with everything that has been going on it would mean the world to get away from everything.
