I’ve Repelled Illness!
Submitted by: Leanne G.
Augusta, MEI'm a student at a school in a rural town where everyone knows each other.
These past few weeks were the worst in my school ever for sickness.
Several things were going around; the flu, stomach flu, bacterial infections, whooping cough, mono and I think a few other things. There was a full week where around half of the school couldn’t attend because they were so sick. Some were sick with more than one of those illnesses!
I honestly think they should have cancelled school. Games were cancelled, so were concerts and clubs and everything else. Most of the teachers were out at least once as well. I feel like everyone I knew was out of school at one point.
Instead of thinking doomed thoughts of “I’m going to get it!”, I just kept telling myself, “I love being healthy” over and over again. Whenever someone coughed, sneezed, said they weren’t feel well, I just thought about being healthy as happily as I could.
I haven’t gotten sick!
People are beginning to return to school. Some are half-sick since they’ve missed so much they don’t want to miss more and some are now completely healthy.
I love being healthy!
Thank you to The Secret!
Before I would have thought I was going to get it soon and then I would have!
