A lot of the times the world is a hard place to survive in. As a college (read: stressed out) student I am always looking for inspiration and anything that will let me know the world is actually a great place to live in. Today, I found a little piece of world goodness in Emma Whitehead and her heroic story.
Picturing a 7 year old usually means imagining dolls, cool rollerblades, and the typical “but I really need (insert toy name here)“. Emma is a beautiful 7 year old girl who, unfortunately, has spent more time in the hospital than in Toysrus. She’s not your typical 7 year old because she’s extraordinary.
Why #CoolKidsRead this: It’s beyond amazing to see a warrior, and someone with so many desires to live, at such a young age. Emma is a girl who fell asleep being 6 years old and woke up being 7 years old a week later, hopefully with leukemia forever in her past.
