The Breast Cancer Awareness Club (BCA)

242 Words1 Page

When I think of my best accomplishment the verse from James 3:5 sticks to me. "A tiny spark can set a great forest on fire". Being a part of the Breast Cancer Awareness Club (BCA) for five years at my school and president for the last three has been a journey that I can 't quite put into words. I remember joining the club as a young eighth grader wanting to learn more and do what I could to help as I saw my aunt struggle with it. Little did I know joining this club would change my outlook on life. Everyone has their daily dose of problems they have to deal with but what if yours was compared to not knowing if you would be here tomorrow. Would it really be a problem? As the famous saying goes, “Never judge a book by its cover”. Never take anything

  • Significant Accomplishment

    250 Words  | 1 Pages

    One significant accomplishment that means the most to me was being voted for McAdory High School's Class of 2016 SGA Class Treasurer. Winning the election, in May of 2016, has shown me how I am looked up to by my fellow peers. Having 244 students in my grade is already a lot of kids, but having the Class of 2015 vote on the Class of 2016 officers means that over the years I have become a role-model for those younger than me; that itself means to me to always do what is good and honorable because I will have younger eyes watching me and being influenced by my actions. I have always tried my best in school work, cheerleading, and after-school clubs, so because of that I have a valued accomplishment of a high GPA and a long list of extracurricular

    Case Study 2: What Race Has to Do with Breast Cancer Health disparities among difference race groups continue to be a public health concern. Some races have higher chances of being diagnosed to certain types of serious health conditions as opposed to others. In the United States, African-American women continue to have the highest rates of breast cancer, and at higher risk of being diagnosed at a more advance stage of breast cancer. Although, research has demonstrated that biology and genes can put an individual at a higher risk of cancer, researchers are now identifying outside factors that are affecting many more women. For example, an article released by Time “What Race Has to Do with Breast Cancer” social and culture factors, such as social economic status, can greatly determine the health risk outcome.

  • Summary Of Breast Cancer No. 2 By Margaret Overton

    567 Words  | 3 Pages

    In her essay, "Breast Cancer No. 2," from the Readings for Writers textbook, Margaret Overton explores her experience of performing an operation on a cancer patient who has a similar background like her. The methods of development in this personal experience go to explain the emotions and thoughts Overton encountered during this specific procedure. Through the use of compare/contrast, narration, and an emphatic statement, the author is able to present her thesis, "Everyone's tolerance is different, so I titrate the drugs to the desired effect," (465) to describe her struggle on her experience of having to keep away from her emotions and remain professional during her patient's operation. Throughout her essay, Margaret Overton goes into

    A sense of accomplishment is invaluable to a person. Not only does a sense of accomplishment build confidence and faith in oneself, but it also allows one to reflect on how wonderful the journey to the accomplishment was, and how every little struggle and triumph was worth it. In the middle of summer, where time seems endless and the stress of the previous school year has been shed by students, I never expected to find out that I scored a five on both of the advanced placement exams I took. Nor did I have one-hundred percent confidence the goals we set as section leaders of the marching band would actually be met. Yet to my surprise, I had the good fortune of accomplishing challenging things in both aspects of my life.
