Lance Armstrong "Back in the Saddle"

In this essay Armstrong talks about how cancer changed his life for the better. He says that they saying live everyday as if it were your last is a bad saying to live your life by. He says that he tried to do that and then he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. He said at first he lost all faith and didnt want to live but then he realized he can beat it and lived his life the way he wanted. He says his pursuit of happiness meant going to his favorite restaurant and pursuing a plate of enchiladas. I see Armstrong as a good role model for kids becasue not only did he beat cancer but he didnt quit doing what he loved and became one of the most famous athletes ever and the most succesful cyclist ever.
