Personal Narrative: My Giving To Breast Cancer

98 Words1 Page

I too understand and can identify with what Klein stated regarding personal connections. My giving to the breast cancer was also a walk-a-thon. We were also offered jerseys as a group, which was participating as part of a huge breast cancer walk event, that takes place annually. I was happy to donate to such a cause, but unfortunately, I was not able to actually walk at the time of the event. The important thing was giving as much as I can afford to, and knowing that my portion can make a significant different tin the life of someone.

I was in middle school at the time, I was ashamed to have a mother who was ill and who was not able to contribute on certain things.
