There were many ideas for stories that popped into my head, which I felt needed to be addressed. Personal experiences became utmost important for me to share to help bring awareness to a cause and also allow people to have a voice. I wanted to tell a story not to make people sad, but to show how one moment can change a family’s life forever. I want to show how one day you can be living an ordinary life, and the next day that same life is turned upside down in an instant. I also wanted to tell this story to bring awareness to a disease that most people do not know can affect young children.…

People want to be remembered as what they are, before they become the person that nobody recognizes as the illness completely takes over. It is not a simple black and white topic, it is something that needs to be taken into account on an individual basis. But in general, people have a right to control their own bodies. We live in a country that boasts the acknowledgement of basic human rights. How is this not one of them?…
In the early 2010’s every single person in the United States of America knew that H1N1, more commonly known as swine flu, was being evaluated as this centuries version of the bubonic plague. Everywhere you went there was a plentiful supply of hand sanitizer at your disposal in order to minimize spread of germs. Americans fear death from diseases and do just about anything possible to prevent that fate, yet they will not consider taking a closer look into their everyday habits. If they did they would realize it is the unnecessary things in life that should truly be feared. The illustration depicts this message by painting a scene of an obese person with a USA shirt on surrounded by “super big” fries, soda, and a beer; above him a speech bubble…

People should be allowed to have the right to die in a painless way if they want to stop their pain. Having a disease such as cancer and living through it everyday with having to go to hospital and things happen would make people unhappy with themselves. People say “God made everything for a reason”. Why do people think that is? Everyday people have questions such as: What is the part of living when something happens to us and we feel unhappy.…
The sick role is defined as a regard to sickness and the rights and obligations the victim. I believe some people want someone to listen to them and show them empathy. Some people want to be the center of attention or simply just want to be seen as pitiful and in need of help. Others continuously say they are sick or ill to avoid their responsibilities or get someone to do things for them because they don't want to do it.…

The way in which our genes behave can be altered by our epigenomes without changing our DNA sequence.

Prior to watching the video, I had no knowledge of what epigenetics was nor have I ever heard about it.…

The sickness that I live with is one that some would find excessively appalling, making it impossible to talk about; so I kept it to a whisper. This sickness I thought was to embarrassing to talk about, making it impossible to seek help, left me feeling alone in the dark. This sickness ruined friendships, without me realizing it. This sickness that made getting out of bed a struggle for me. This sickness made it impossible for me to see a positive future, until the day I stopped calling myself “crazy” and began to grow from what we all call, depression.…
