In the spring of 2010, my daughter Isabella wasn’t herself. She was pale, she wasn’t active, and wasn’t eating much. We originally thought she was just teething because she was a little over one and half years old.

In June 2010, I had just returned from my leave of absence teaching in the Middle East. I felt great and revitalized from seeing another part of the world and was looking forward to sharing new ideas at school. However, within the year various health issues began appearing.

Through my blood cancer experience, I learned that everything happens for a reason and every event – whether positive or negative – gives me a chance to grow.
