Warrior Mode
Becoming a Wonder Woman!
Monique
R. Anderson, M.B.A.
I
always saw myself as regular, ordinary person. I was athletic, intelligent and had
many talents. I’ve endured some not so great events in my life that most will
never but I survived them. The Summer of 2013 started the biggest battle I’ve
ever encountered and none of my athletic skills, knowledge or talents could
help me. I was diagnosed with breast
cancer. The Big C doesn’t exist in my family at all so I’m the only one that
had to go through this journey. Being that I had no one to relate to or to
prepare me for what was about to take place, I decided to become the strongest
version of myself. I became Wonder Woman!
I
shut my mind and heart off to all feeling. I was superhuman with super powers
now. Nothing phased me, hurt me, scared me nothing! And cancer was just an inconvenience
to me that I tried to get past as fast as I possibly could. The hardest part
was supporting myself since so many people chose to abandon and judge me on
something I didn’t ask for nor had any control over. To get through I had to be
strong, I had to fight, I had to tell myself this was no big deal and pray that
God would give me the strength and motivation that I used during my healthy days
to get through this. It was the hardest time of my life but like the other hard
times, I made it to the end and I’m still a survivor.
I
had to become a warrior and fight what wanted to take over and destroy me. The
upside is that I view the world differently and there’s nothing I can’t do. I’m
only 3 months in remission but no one can tell I was ever sick. I told them
that “I’m not trying to look the part.” Now
if there’s ever a situation that seems complicated or changes everything as I
know it or tries to prove me weak……… I just go into warrior mode. Cancer sure
picked the wrong chick to mess with!
