I almost died from my umbilical cord being wrapped around my neck three times as well as there being fecal matter down my throat. The doctor/Nurse who was helping my mother give birth pretty much said that I would die because they did not have the right equipment to sustain my life and there was too much damage done to my body. If my mom had not taken nursing classes at her college, nor made friends with her professor/instructor who come to my mother's side after a quick phone call and "helped them locate and use" the necessary equipment that would help me live, I just might not be here today.

Today marks the day I become recognized as an adult, I couldn't be happier nor as any more lucky that I have met so many friends throughout my life and gotten to experience so many things.

Today I am 18 years old and "legal" as some may see it. to some it's just another year closer to death, a day no different then the last. But the truth of the matter is that each day is a gift which we are all granted, with no promises to hold onto. We all, sometimes, take for granted all that we really have to enjoy out of life, what we've been given, good and bad, there are no mistakes, just a chance we took and learned from that experience.

I'm happy for being 18 and everything that comes with that. Today is a very gleeful day which I will remember for quite some time.

For those of you who still don't know if you are going to my party which is on the 17th from 6 until midnight, figure it out and let me know, alright? For the rest of you, I'll see you at the PS tomorrow!
