What would you do if you were told that you had less than a year to live? You probably haven't thought too much about it. Ben Wolf certainly hadn't. He's going into his senior year full of plans for the future. But when he takes his physical for cross country, he learns that he has a terminal illness. Since he is 18, he can decide what to do -- or not to do. He decides not to tell anyone. And not to get any treatment. How can he get through the year with such weight on his shoulders? And is it fair to those around him not to share in this news? |
