Carol began treatment afterwards. She felt almost 24 and went right back to work. Carol hates the idea of being 25 as a “sick” person. She likes her life 26 . Last winter, Carol suddenly found 27 difficult to swallow. She slept a lot and was slow to wake in the morning. There was continuous pressure in her chest and 28 I saw her looking thoughtful.

Life is 39 .

I am sure it is great to go through without losing and bringing home awards.But in all honesty,I 39 the fact that my team lost every game last year.It may not help me to become a better basketball player,but it already has made me a better leader,and 40 .
