Hi, I am Serena, and I am a teen activist for USA Equal Platforms blog.I was recently diagnosed with stage 2 Thyroid cancer on October 17, 2012.
It seems as though you will remember that date as if it was your birthday. My passion has been to model and tell my story.
Since I was little girl I would always dress up and practice the runway supermodel walk I would see on Americas Next Top Model. I was.., just never expecting to hear the words, “you have cancer.”
Even though I heard those words I knew I had to keep my head high because I knew there was more to my life.

My doctor has told me that after the surgery there is no trace of cancer! I’m still in active treatment and the cancer can come back within the next 25 years.
Yes that sounds like a long time and if I lay down the fight and just let cancer win I won’t get to see 50 years old.
But that’s not how I’m going to let my life be because I got the opportunity to be a teen activist for USA Equal Platforms Blog and get the chance to let all the other teens in the world know that with any challenges you face you can survive!
So just remember sometimes things have to fall apart to start a new beginning.
