Fight The Fight is a simple phrase that can mean to fight for everything no matter what. Someone very close to me used this phrase as a motto for life. Unfortunately, I lost this person to a very long battle with cancer.

Her name was Megan and she was the sweetest person you could ever meet. She put everybody before herself, even when she was sick. Megan's battle with cancer was very long and tiresome for her, but she placed her faith in God and never lost hope in herself. She had always taught me to have faith and to keep my head up even in the darkest of times. Megan called me "sweet girl" or all the time and it made me feel so special that words cannot describe how I felt. She was truly my role model and inspiration for everything in my life. To me, Megan was perfect in every way.

I met Megan when I was in the fifth grade, and now I am in ninth. Her impression on me was very lasting. There was something about her that I knew I could never forget. She made that impression on everyone that crossed her path. She greeted every person with a smile on her face, and her smile was absolutely magnetic.

When Megan passed I did exactly what she told me not to do, I lost my faith. She specifically said to not be mad at God, I wasn't angry, I was furious. I questioned this could be happening to an amazing person like Megan. It was a very rough patch. The day she passed, I went home after spending some time with my team, put on a t-shirt she gave me, called a close friend, and I just sat there and cried.

The worst part about losing her was all the things we never got to do. Megan never got to watch me compete in my first cheer competition on a high school varsity team. She always talked about how she wanted me to cheer in college and on the Champion staff, and now if I do so she will never get to be there to watch me grow.

Megan always called me her fake little sis because people used to ask if we were related, so eventually we started to say yes and it was like our little joke. Her name in my phone is still fake big sis and sometimes when I go to text her I realize she isn't gonna answer and it breaks my heart a little bit each time

After I myself down after thinking about all the negatives, I thought about the positives. She got to watch me grow up. She got to watch me at my first cheer practice. Than I thought that she will be there for ever step of my life She has always and will always be there for me. Megan holds a special place in my heart that no one can replace no matter how hard they try.

The things Megan taught me growing up will forever be with me She had the strongest faith of anyone I have ever met in my life. She is the person I aspire to be. I pray to her all the time that I may be just like her. She was fearless as well as gentle and kind and that's what I want to be If I can even be half as kind as Megan, I would call that a large success. Love you fake big sis, see you soon one day
