i am known as many things in this life. however, the name that has been written on my birth certificate indicates that i'm a female, having the name Alexandra Elena Luna - born and raised in los angeles, ca since (8'18'1991). the majority say that my voice sounds exactly like my mom's...the majority also says i look like my dad. although i will give the majority of the credit to my mom and the partial to my dad, we are all our own people. i can be very kept to myself at times, given the fact that i am very shy. i am very open-minded, optimistic, and cautious - living with an over-protective single mother all my life has definitely made me fear almost everything this world holds for us all. but i guess i turned out the way i did for the better. i've never done drugs, never tried alcohol, never hung out with the wrong crowd, never gave into peer pressure, lol, and never really been a good student until my senior of high school. point being: i've always been the good kid. i'm not entirely your typical teenage girl (coming out of my adolescent years, finally!), i do enjoy the obvious "alex-time" (otherwise known as "privacy"), hanging out with my friends, and spending my time and life on my hobbies and passions. i am also known for being polite, having manners, and being nice and friendly. a lot of people have complimented me on being extremely nice and kind, but i am not a pushover - i know when to set the limits. i can seem a bit traumatized at times, like i said before: i play it safe due to all my fears, i am very cautious. personalities - they are just what set us apart from everyone else; what make us unique. and like i will say again: i am not entirely your typical teenage girl...
i am a cancer survivor i believe this is what sets me apart from everyone else. (diagnosed with a.l.l. - 9/13/08) and it's been ten months since...approximately thirty-eight scars from treatment. i definitely believe that this was the major turning point in my life. no one every thought or believed that someone like me would get this life-threatening disease, but it hasn't been all that bad so far. sure, chemo does kill me a little up to the point where i can't even walk, bend down (light-headedness), or even eat at times, but it's just another obstacle i can face. some people as me how i do it - "how can you be so happy all the time?", "how can you still work out while you're on treatment?", "where do you find the energy to still do the things you love to do?"...i don't even know or comprehend how i do it, sometimes. i guess its just having the mind-set of staying open-minded and optimistic because i love my life now more than ever. the world is not giving up on me, so why should i give up on the world? i just love my life the way it has turned out to be and i try my very best to live life to the fullest. things happen for a reason, a reason none of us may never really find out until we have lived through some our biggest obstacles, but i think i may have found my reason...i would not give up having cancer for anything because it has changed me for the better. i have noticed in myself that i am more mature, i am more responsible, and i value things a whole lot more than i ever have. "good, strong people get cancer, and they do everything they can to beat it." said lance armstrong, and i believe everyone who has gotten cancer, including me, are good, strong people.
i am a drummer it's my talent, it's my passion. since my freshman year at belmont high school, marching band sort of stuck on me. being in the front ensemble all of 9th grade, i had decided it was time for a challenge...sophmore year was my first year marching tenors for the belmont marching sentinels. junior year starting at garfield high school didn't really give me a chance to continue playing and marching tenors, so i was forced to take a little break for coming in junior year a little too late, didn't mean that was going to stop me from marching else where. i first began participating with full force percussion my sophmore year of high school, playing synthesizer (front ensemble), being apart of them in their first year of competing and being one of the youngest members there. junior year gave me more time to focus on school and full force, 11th grade - being my second year participating with full force percussion once again, only this time marching and playing a drum i never thought i would play. all of a sudden my specialty became bass drum (top - 3rd bass). since i was diagnosed, it definitely knocked me of my game and i was unable to march for ffp 2009, being their synthesizer player once again, which was no problem for me just as long as i was a part of the ensemble. ffp is something i love to do on my weekends during the fall-winter season, because i have many friends within the ensemble and they're like a second family to me. having ffp in my life, especially during my treatment, has definitely taught me to be strong and to inspire, that any obstacle in my life will never stop me from doing what i love to do...ffp is that perfect example.
