Picture this. You are a six year old boy with your whole life in front of you. You have a brother and two sisters. Your mother and father are loving and only want what is best for you. You’re also very innocent and haven’t yet had to experience what real life is. Then, one day, you begin to feel pain in you bones. You don’t know what it is but it hurts. For most people, this isn’t a reality, but for Noah Wilson it was a huge part of his short life.
Noah Wilson was a six year old boy when he found out that he had cancer, Ewing Sarcoma to be exact. He wasn’t sure what to think. Noah had never had to experience something so painful. His family and him were shocked to find out that he had contracted the disease. But Noah didn’t let it get the best of him. He accepted the fact that he would have to deal with cancer and he kept pushing forward. Throughout the treacherous experience, Noah realized that there were not any “fun” bandages in the hospital. The only bandages they had were boring brown ones. So, Noah decided that he would put an end to that.

Purpose and Goals Statement The Ohio State University Graduate College of Nursing Christina M Sanchez As a little girl, all of my art projects and writing assignments were full of ambitious promises to cure the sick of all their ailments.

It then became my fierce determination to make an immediate difference in the quality of life for others.
Imagine being trapped under the dirty rubble of a fallen building that was once a hospital. Shorty, a fifteen-year-old Haitian boy, is in this exact situation.

Although the patients were all in the same stage physically, their mental status greatly differed between each of them. One of the most influential patients was, Jeff. He approached death differently than the other patients; he wasn’t scared or worried, but happy with the live he lived. He didn’t want to pursue any extra unnecessary treatment that would have decreased his quality of life. Sometimes people get so caught up in the treatment and searching for miracles that they forget how painful the side effects of treatment can be and how the pain can shorten their life.

One of the biggest fundraisers that Children’s Mercy conducts is called The Big
There are countless books, articles, and movies that illustrate the beauties and struggles of young love and depict how the innocent heart of a child often views reality through foggy lenses. I was that thirteen-year-old girl who saw through clouded lenses that lead my naive mind to think that my decisions were all clear to me; I knew exactly what I was doing and what I wanted out of life. I did not realize that the decisions I made and the thoughts that I acted upon would create obstacles for the next two years of my life. The people I surrounded myself with, and the aura of negativity I expressed led to a time of selfish and inconsiderate decisions that affected the family and friends most meaningful to me.

Imagine being unable to walk, unable to speak, unable to move and unable to breathe. Imagine being in a state of complete paralysis where the only thing that keeps on functioning is your brain, and you live chained to a machine doctors call life support.

Did you know every human body has 206 bones? Instead of having 206 bones, I have 206 ½ today. This is definitely a story I was never going to forget about, with all the pain, tears, and laughs involved. In P.E. one day in 8th grade, for our unit we played basketball.
Christmas plays a huge role in every kid’s childhood, but not every kid is fortunate enough to have one. No matter what situation my family has been in I was always fortunate to wake up Christmas morning to gift under the tree, but now I understand that Christmas is not about what you get, but about what you are able to give back. To play a part in something as beautiful as in helping a kid have a better childhood really touched my heart and helped me see past the material things in life. Often people take for granted that they have gifts under the tree, or the luxury of having an iPhone, or nice clothes, but never stop to realize that there are people in the same community that don’t even have the luxury of waking up to a hot meal or clean clothes to wear. I can see, that a small personal gift under the tree can bring joy to a kid’s life, but it is also much more.
