This story is really powerful and I chose it because I feel people should know when you feel as if you have hit rock bottom and can’t go on anymore is when you really need to start fighting. Every life is worth living and you still have so many things in store.

An East Texas organization had a fundraiser filled with games and activities to support cancer awareness. ” ‘Pink Heals’ organization holds fundraiser to benefit breast cancer research” is the title of my article. My article is from KLTV or here. With October finally starting this means it’s breast cancer awareness month. In honor of loved ones and being supportive an East Texas organization put together a fundraiser. This fundraiser benefits breast cancer research. The organization had many activities and booths set up to raise money and awareness for this issue. Many supporters came to talk at this event and educating those who participated. Throughout the month of October many people participate in raising money for breast cancer. ‘Pink Heals’ organization is changing the world day by day and I feel we should all help the cause. It’s a great feeling knowing so many people can come together to support those who are fighting cancer. I feel this could be the year when doctors find a cure. This event affects me because my Aunt lost a friend due to breast cancer. She had always supported those who were struggling with cancer. Not only in October she is helping and raising money for a cure but all year round. It makes me happy to see her have such strong desire to help those who are fighting. I think we should all do something about this and find a way to support. So many men and women have cancer and don’t have the money to pay for their medical expenses. The doctors can only do so much. With fundraisers happening everyday the amount adds up. With their community helping it’s the reason they can receive the help they need. I’m more than happy to know that just a small act of giving can change somebody’s life.

The board of Leaguetown High school has called an emergency meeting and will vote this Friday, February 6th, on whether or not the school will rent computers for yearbook students because of a recent system hacking.

 

Due to the system hacking all computers on the Leaguetown High School campus will be shutdown to install new security software. The yearbook classes need computers to finish the yearbook to meet their 48-page final deadline on February 27th.

 

“Our yearbook representatives warned us that if we didn’t make the deadline, the chances of the yearbook arriving before summer break were slim.” Alexis Zavia, the yearbook editor, said.

 

Receiving the yearbook is so important for the seniors, that the school has sponsored a “Yearbook Day” just to have their book signed.

 

“Yearbook Day is one of the highlights of the senior year.” says senior, Reggie White. “Yearbook Day is more popular than prom.”

 

During the hacking many teachers had lost files, grades and tests. No suspect has been named or has turned themselves in.

 

“Whoever hacked into our system is very bright” says Ed Robles, the technology director. “I don’t think it was a student.”

My article is from KLTV or here. 2 ½  years ago Allie was diagnosed with brain cancer and had been clear after treatment, but now Allie is having to fight it again. Her mother has been fighting breast cancer also. In support of his date Brayden has shaved his head to stand with Allie and her mother. Cancer is such a tough thing to battle and I can see how Allie wants to be a “normal teen.”  It’s the best thing for Allie and her mother to be optimistic and have faith. I feel very encouraged by this event. Many people struggle with cancer everyday and have a hard time staying happy. Just by Brayden shaving his head for Allie and her mom can change somebody life. This affects me because we never know what life can throw at us. We never know when we could be in this position. Knowing people like Brayden still support others who are struggling takes a lot of courage and makes me happy.This impacts the world by showing us that people still care. Brayden was willing to shave his for Allie and he can inspire so many others to do that. It doesn’t have take much to help others. Imagine how many people can do the same thing for people fighting cancer. I’m touched to hear this and to know it doesn’t take much to make a difference.
