Everyone has a personal quest; someones lifes purpose can be physical or mental. Within my lifetime I want to help contribute in a problem that is plaguing humanity. Currently cancer is an uprising problem within our population that is rapidly diminishing much of the human race. Cancer is a disease caused by an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in a part of the body. Approximately 39.6% of men and women will be diagnosed with cancer of any site during their lifetime. What I want to do later in the future is to help with the process of curing cancer.

There are many obstacles to curing cancer. One of the major obstacles to finding a cure for cancer is that cancer is not just one disease, cancer is a category of illnesses. Cancer

    Personal Narrative: My Constellation Of Cancer

    I have chosen Cancer as my favorite constellation because it is the sign I was born under. Latin for "crab", it is the dimmest of all the zodiac constellations and used to be the Sun's most northerly position in the sky. It is located in between Gemini (to its west) and Leo(to its east). It is best known among stargazers as home of Praesepe, an open cluster. Cancer is most well known in Greek mythology as the crab sent by the goddess Hera to help the hydra kill Heracles.…

    Possible Cancer: Personal Narrative Analysis

    For my final revision project, I decided to revise my fist essay “The Visible Cancer”. The reason I chose to edit this essay was the special connection that I had to it. When writing this essay, I was very invested in telling the audience how I had felt and describing what had happened with my dad’s cancer as best as I could. In making these revisions I thought it would be a good way to look back on how I viewed the situation when I first wrote this right after it happened compared to how I feel about it now after several months.…

    Personal Narrative: Being President Of The Sutherland Cancer Awareness Club

    The most challenging leadership role I have undertaken is being President of the Sutherland Cancer Awareness Club. This is my first year as President and the Club has created a goal of raising $2,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society. I think this is achievable but will require a large amount of effort from each of the club's 55 members. The main difficulty is two-way communication with some members, particularly the younger students who are new to responsibility and don't always fulfil their commitments. I try to be a patient mentor and highlight the importance of persistent and consistent effort in achieving our goal.…

    Personal Narrative: The One Who Saved My Life

    When I view the world around me, I see darkness. I see broken people with hurting hearts hurting others. What I also see are Christians. Christians everywhere who are doing nothing to love and help the pained individuals surrounding them, while doing everything to promote prosperity in their own lives. Of course, not every Christian is like that, as I am not one of those Christians.…

    Persuasive Speech On Cancer Research Paper

    I believe that it is a shame that in 2008, 12.7 million people were diagnosed with cancer and an additional 7.6 million people die from this tragic disease. The World Health Organization states that in the year of 2030, this statistic will grow to 21.4 and 13.2 million respectively (Fanghua, 2010, p.297). But, what is cancer. Cancer is a disease caused by non-stop division of cells and it can happen almost anywhere in the human body. People who are stricken with this disease are people who are loved and will be missed when they inevitably die.…

    As I motioned for the pink fire trucks to park in the middle of the pink-themed festival, I could not help but feel pride in what the team and I had been able to accomplish. After months of planning, designing, and promoting; Naperville, Illinois was about to witness their very first Guardian of the Ribbon fundraiser for breast cancer survivors. Cheering and supportive crowds gathered around the stage set in front of the fire trucks as those who had been afflicted with breast cancer shared brave stories about their roads to recovery.

    Cancer Narrative Analysis

    Everyone responds differently upon being diagnosed with an illness, particularly cancer. Regardless of your race, gender, age and socio-economic background, the experience of cancer has negative effects on both the patient and their loved ones and the experience is drastically different and unique to each individual diagnosed. While experiences of cancer depend on the individual experience, there are patterns that allow us to understand why people are more likely to respond a certain way to their illness. Looking at cancer narratives from the perspective of traditional gender roles allows us to conceptualize how individual cancer narratives are shaped by gendered…

    Cancer Progression Argumentative Essay

    Annually, as cancer progression occurs the money spent in the United States according to the National Cancer Research (NCI) bounces around, “$4.8 to $5.2 billion per annum on cancer research and treatment development” whereas, the total amount of money invested in the medical field per annum is six times this amount (NCI). This amount of money annually spent has impacted every American life because cancer can affect anyone with the genetics acceptable to cancer. Therefore, the motivation to stay alive longer urges the push forward to find a cure for cancer at any cost. For instance, we would all want to see our future children grow up, yet with a disease like cancer(caused by a division of abnormal cells in a certain body part) this important part of life will be stripped from people who die…

The three of us sat in my car and anxiously awaited stepping foot into the care facility as we had no idea what to expect. I began to wonder what the patients would be like and how I would care for them.…
