Unfortunately, certain types of cancers run in my family. A good portion of my family members have gotten it at some point in their lives, some survived and some have fallen. It seemed to be only a matter of time before I was diagnosed. Because of this, whenever I feel an ache or pain that doesn’t go away, or anything usual for that matter, I immediately make an appointment with my doctor. This very well may have saved my life. In May 2017, I was diagnosed when stage 1 breast cancer. It was incredibly hard to hear those words. To know, that the cancer was eating away at my body, and there was very little I could do about. Years later, my doctors announced that I was in complete remission! I cried tears of joy, and realized how close I was to embracing death. I started making colorful silicone bracelets for raising awareness. I wanted people that are ignorant about cancer, as I once was, to learn and become informed on it’s symptoms. The first few days, I received little attention, which was discouraging. So, I changed tactics. I opened up a small office that was very cool inside. Naturally people wanting to escape the heat, started coming over. The cooling breeze attracted a lot of people, and my office quickly became busy. I purposely placed my awareness stand right next to the air conditioner, so if people want to get cool air, they had to approach my awareness stand first. My AC tactic seemed to work well, and many people began to crowd my awareness. I was able to sell many bracelets, and inform many people about cancer and its symptoms. All money made was given to charity, and I kept using my air conditioning system as a people magnet.
