I want to advocate for pediatric cancer because cancer shouldn’t hold anyone back in life. Even though they may be really sick, people with cancer are capable of accomplishing many things!

I was given a book at the age of one; a book that shows everything. That book opened up a whole new world to me. At an early age, I discovered things a one or two year old wouldn’t usually know. I learned about the universe. This book I was given had hundreds of pictures of the universe including planets, stars, nebulas, etc. For many years, I have always found myself getting lost in the book. Although I have looked through the book hundreds of times, I’m still amazed by all the photos I see and it never gets old. This book, and my love for astronomy has encouraged me to one-day become an astrophysicist so that I can explore and discover new things outside of our solar system.
