When I was two, I was diagnosed with brain cancer. When I was ten, I became cancer free. When I was twelve, I auditioned for the lead role in an upcoming TV show, and was picked to play the lead. When I was thirteen, I said goodbye to my family, best friends, and good friends, and moved to Los Angeles to live with my favorite aunt, and to start my new career. Five years later, I am filming the fourth and final season of my successful show, and will begin the filming process of my new show in March of this upcoming year. Before I can think about any of that, I have a couple of things that I am looking forward to first: My eighteenth birthday (which is today) and surprising my twin sister, Teresa, our best friends, and good friends at her birthday bash tonight. Even though Troy and I have to fly back to Los Angeles immediately after the party, being in my hometown of Phoenix, Arizona, and seeing everyone for a few hours is completely worth it!

My private plane escort-ing me from LA to Houst-on, I feel a combo of different feelings. While I am excited to be home with my family and best friends for a month, I am also a little nervous. I haven't seen or talked to my twin sister, Delia, or our best friends, Tess, Mikayla, Brent or Steven since Christ-mas. This was when I found out that they were bad mouth-ing me on social media. Even though I forgive my twin sister and best friends, there is a part of me that still hurts over it.Moving on to better things, My parents and older brother, Dominic, are the only ones that know that I am coming home for the month! One of the reasons that they are the only ones who know is because I want to surprise my sister and best friends.

As Carson and Mrs. Jacobs made their way to Carson's new teachers classroom, Carson processed as much of the things that she had been reminded about Marshall as she could in a short period of time. While Kindergarten-8th grade was on one side of the building, grades 9th-12th were on the other. The high school teams were made up of two teachers each. All Marshall students only went to school on Monday-Thursday from 8-12, and had every Friday off. Finally, Marshall had a zero tolerance bullying policy. This definitely put Carson's mind at ease.

"Here we go." Kara, my amazing and wonder-ful twin sister smiled, putting the maroon bow head-band on my bald head. Stepping back, her eyes filled with tears."Sissy, what's wrong?" I asked, making my way towards her."Not a thing, girlie." Kara smiled. "You just look really beautiful and happy tonight, that's all.""How beautiful do I look?""Go into your rest-room and see for your-self."Fifteen months ago, I was diag-nosed with a rare and aggress-ive form of Leu-kemia. Instant-ly, I was register-ed into the pediatric cancer hospital. With all of the surger-ies and treat-ments that I have gone and go through, it is rare that I feel beautiful and confi-dent. How-ever, as I look into the mirror and see the girl with the spa-ghetti strapp-ed, maroon, strap-less, a-lined dress with the black, strappy, low heels, I cannot help but smile, and feel both happy and confi-dent.

Sitting up in my room, I bawl my eyes out. Even though the break up with my longtime ex-boyfriend is fresh and raw. Even though I know that the pain will go way, it doesn't feel like it right now. Even though my amazing and wonderful parents and best friends have been and are there for me, there is nothing that anyone can say or do to make the pain go away right now.

As I laid on my bed, an idea popped into my head."Hey, Sicily, I have an idea on how we can have some fun indoors!" I exclaimed, getting up from my bed.

Fabi-enne smiled, sincere-ly. "Being in LA and filming my show is fun and awe-some, but I definite-ly needed a break, and am glad that I am off for three weeks!""I can appre-ciate that." Nicole smiled, giving Fabi-enne a smile and side hug. "On a different note, your cabin mates are your best girl friends, Callie, Amy, and Sa-man-tha!""That's awe-some!" Fabi-enne smiled. "Due to the fact that they, as well as our camp friends, do not know that I am here makes this even more awe-some!"

"How is it possible that we are seniors?" Bryce asked. "It feels just like yesterday that we were walking through the doors of Henley Beach High for the first time.""I know, right?" Bella asked. "I can't believe that our first day of our senior year has finally come."As the girls gathered up their things from Bella's car, and made their way to the entrance of the school, they talked about this certain subject. Almost as fast as the speed of light, senior year had finally come. With this said, the girls decided right then and there that they were going to make this a great year!

Taking a hot and relaxing shower, I thought of the timeline that today had brought! At 11:45 AM, my wonder-ful and amazing Aunt Katie had treated me to a yummy brunch at IHOP, and had present-ed me with some awe-some birthday gifts.

After all, I am deeply in love with her). With this said, it is truly going to be a wonderful and amazing one!

This is the party after the party.

Dear Journal, Ever since I was twelve years old, Mom and I have flown down from our home-town of Raleigh, NC and have met up with her lifelong best friend, Gianna, and her son, Grant, at their beach house in Henley Beach, Florida to stay for a Monday-Friday out of each June. Even though I love Aunt Gianna to death, I CAN'T STAND GRANT!Even though he is tall, blonde haired, and the hottest, sexiest, and most good looking guy that I have ever met in my entire life, he is also the most annoying guy that I have ever met! To be fair, he probably thinks I am equally as annoying. After all, we have never gotten along (Maybe it is due to the fact that he is two years older than me). With this said, Grant and I make it a point of avoiding each other as much as possible! As I prepare to go down to the beach and do some light reading before it gets dark, I cannot help but think that this week won't be any different!-L.J. XO

Going surfing and watching the sunrise with my wonderful parents is truly a special and wonderful way to start off my eighteenth birthday.

How is it possible that my volleyball career at Renwood High has come to a close? I asked myself. How can that even be? As Mom and I made our way to Olive Garden for the volleyball team's end of the season party, I could not help but be lost in my thoughts. Three years ago, I was a young freshmen trying out for the volleyball team. Three years later, I am a seasoned volleyball player whose teammates are practically my sisters. I also have an amazing coach. I am truly going to miss them when I am in college next year.

My family and I sitting in our seats as Dr. Cavazos talked to us, it felt like I was day-dream-ing. Had my wonder-ful oncolo-gist just told my family that my cancer was com-pletely gone? Judging my the fact that my wonder-ful and amazing parents, as well as my wonder-ful older brother, Jeff, were smiling, wiping away the happy tears that were flowing down their cheeks.
