My experience with cancer was not my own I was indirectly affected by cancer when I found out that my grandmother got it. I had so many emotions going through my head mainly sadness grief and fear, I had these emotions because I was extremely scared about losing her as well as craving other people that I have known that have died from similar conditions and sadness was the most prominent because I didn't know if she was going to make it through she found it very early which was good but it still gave me one of the biggest scares of my life. Because she got cancer all of my beliefs started to change I would not worship our Gods because I am Hindu and I never thought that they were listening or that they would help but after she had gotten it I became more religious I felt that maybe if I can ask the gods for help they will help her succeed and go through this. I even decided to change my way of life mainly my food intake, I used to be a person who would eat everything except for fish and beef, now I am a person who only eats vegetarian. I did this in support of my grandmother because she is also a vegetarian but I wanted to show her that just because you're going through this doesn't mean that you have no one with you I wanted to let her know that I was with her and that no matter what if she needed my help she could count on me. After her treatment and her chemo ended and her cancerous cells were gone I feel that our relationship was strengthened by a lot simply because I did something that made me feel more connected to her made me feel that I was part of her healing process. every time I think about it I feel happiness that I did something to support her even if it was as simple as changing what I ate and believing a little bit more in my gods I feel happier that I was able to support her the one way I thought I could through her trying and daring times. To sum it up I really am just happy that both me as a person and the relationship that I had with my grandmother have grown simply because I maybe could have lost her and it's not good but I want to think of but knowing that that could have happened I am proud that I, tried and believed more in what she thought so that I was walking through her treatment instead of by her side I was walking through it with her.

I plan on working the hardest that I can to both help those in need, as well as those who are just going through a hard time. I want to study and pursue a career in hospitality and restaurant/hotel management because I want to be able to see people and help them with what they need. My biggest dreams are to both help people and create amazing food. The best way that I can think of to do that is by becoming a manager at a restaurant or a hotel because it allows me to make sure that everyone is fed and is living well. The things that tie me to my community are the things I do with my family and school. I love to go out and help those who are in need, and the thing that breaks my heart the most is the families that are in the streets, so every once in a while I will give them some money. I also like to help with my school; while helping with my school I like to decorate for school events or even just help out, I want to do the best that I can not only so that I can get community service hours but also just to help out where ever I can. I want to be able to carry this with me in the new year of my life where I will be at a new school with new people and will have to make more friends. That is another reason why I started community service was to be able to create more friendships that will hopefully last for a long time after school. The only thing that I feel will help me most both reinforcing the impact that I make as well as the person that I have become. I feel that by allowing myself to become part of that world I am also pushing myself to move on to the next stage of my life. While focusing on helping those in need I will also be able to force myself with to come out of my shell and make myself communicate with others and make sure that they are living comfortably and don't need anything that I can provide. I will make sure that no matter what I will never forget that helping people and the community is the most important thing that I can ever do.
