内容简介：
I was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, but raised in Tennessee. In the year of 1993, I was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. I underwent two surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation. At the age of twenty-two, my brother passed away, leaving me as an only child and the only person left who could carry on the family name. Throughout the years, I have seen my friends and family suffer through many deaths and hardships. These events in our lives have been my inspirations, which I consider a gift and also a curse.
