A broken journey - let's get back on the right track together

My passion for travel has become even more important - I'm studying tourism at a technical school, and every trip is a new adventure and experience for me.

I started the year ambitiously - in January I went skiing in the Czech Republic. I had other countries planned: Denmark, Georgia, Slovakia and Austria.

The first few months went perfectly. I even managed to start an internship at a travel agency - a place where I had always dreamed of working. My colleagues and I had plenty of plans for our coming of age. Unfortunately, at the end of February I started to feel worse and worse. Headaches, fever and general weakness meant that I barely made it to the doctor. The blood test results changed everything - I heard the diagnosis: acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

It was like a blow. All my dreams and plans were in ruins. On March 1, I started chemotherapy. My hair fell out, my muscles atrophied, my face swelled up. It was hard to accept at first, but I quickly realized that the most important thing now is to fight - and this fight has been going on for almost a year. I'm in the final stages of the hardest treatment and I'm looking forward to the future.

Today I feel stronger than ever before. My greatest motivation is the dream that always gives me strength: going to Liverpool's Anfield Stadium to see my beloved team. I believe I will beat the disease and return to a happy life - a life full of passion, travel and pursuing youthful dreams. The hospital will not be the definition of my youth - it is just a stop on the road to a better tomorrow.
