Sarah Graber

Hero's Journey Essay

I'm Sarah Graber and I am a 17 year old senoir at Hug High School. I have lived in Reno, Nevada for about 11 years nows, before we moved here we use to live in Chowchilla, California. We lived there until i was about 6 years old.
During school we get 2 weeks out for winter vacation. Well me and my family useally just stay home for christmas and my family from California comes up and visits us and after christmas, but this year was different. We found out that my grandma has cancer in her lungs and they didnt know how much longer she had left so my parents decided on us going to California this year for christmas instead of them coming up here becuase they didnt want my gradma to travel just in case it got worse. So the saturday after we got out for vacation we left and went to California.
When we arrived, we went to our hotel first to check in and get our rooms so we all could takes showers and change before we left to go and see my grandmother.So after everyone got ready, we left and went over to my aunt's and uncle's house where my grandma was staying, my dad walked in first and then the rest of us followed him in, when we walked in my grandma was very suprised to see us. She didnt even know we were going to be there, because everyone kept it a secret from her. She told us that it was the best christmas gift anyone could ever give to her. We all had a Blast there, the whole family was there and we all sat around talking and joking and catching up on old things since we havent seen each other in years.
The day after christmas we left and came back home. It was really hard to tell my grandma good-bye, i felt like it was going to be the last time i was going to be able to ever talk to her. A few days later after we got home we my uncle called us and told us that the cancer in my grandma had gotten smaller than what it was.
