But as the chemo __________________, I wondered _____________________________ with a year. Should I go to the beach?I wasn't really a beach person. And how many years did I have left, anyway? I really wanted to go to medical school. It seemed like ____________________________________. So instead of ________________________________________________, I asked myself: What's the worst that could happen? Well, I could be ______________________________. It could be too hard for me emotionally. I could ___________________ medical school. But then I remembered, that wouldn't be the worst thing that happened to me even that year. So why not _________________? Why not _____________________________________ that I wanted to live? So I did. Bald and __________________, I put on my best earrings and my favorite dress, and I started. I ________________________, and I began to. There is no way to describe how hard it was. Some days it felt impossible. __________________________ ____________I was doing things that would never matter in the future. But every day, I asked myself: Are you ______________________________?

But as the chemo fog lifted, I wondered what I was going to do with a year. Should I go to the beach? I wasn't really a beach person. And how many years did I have left, anyway? I really wanted to go to medical school. It seemed like a missing piece of my puzzle.
随着化疗阴霾的消散，我开始思考我这一年的规划，我该去海滩吗？其实我并不是一个热爱沙滩的人。然而我还剩下多少年可活？我真的很想要去医学院读书。它就像我人生拼图中缺失的那一块。

So instead of going around and around with indecision, I asked myself: What's the worst that could happen? Well, I could be too weak or too sick to do the work. It could be too hard for me emotionally. I could fail out of medical school.
与其一直摇摆不定，我开始自问：“最糟糕的情况会是什么？”我可能会虚弱得无法工作，我可能会情绪崩溃，我也有可能被医学院退学。

But then I remembered, that wouldn't be the worst thing that happened to me even that year. So why not get started? Why not continue living the way that I wanted to live? So I did.
紧接着我就想到，这些对我来说都不会是那年我遇过最糟糕的事情。那为何还不开始行动？为何不继续过我想要的生活方式？于是我开始行动起来。
Bald and rail thin, I put on my best earrings and my favorite dress, and I started. I pretended to belong, and I began to. There is no way to describe how hard it was.
光头且骨瘦如柴的我，戴上了我最好看的耳环，还穿上了我最喜欢的裙子，就这么开始了。我假装自己有明确的目标，也切实地开始寻找。这一路的艰难是无法用言语来形容的。
Some days it felt impossible. It felt as if I was doing things that would never matter in the future. But every day, I asked myself: Are you still enjoying this? Is this still what you want to be doing? And every day, the answer was yes, sometimes a very qualified yes, but a yes.
有时候，你会觉得自己办不到。感觉自己在做着跟未来毫不相关的事情。即便如此，我每天都会问自己：“你仍然很享受这一切吗？这仍然是你想做的事情吗？”而每一天的答案都是“是”，有时候是有保留的“是”，但往往都是肯定的。
