Goals

Everyone has goals. 

Whether they're for school, work, home-life, or life in general.

For instance, my career goal is to be a pediatric oncologist, but my school goal is to not fail. My personal goal is to be able to live in a social environment without my twin sister/best friend being there for me. I love her, as much as she may think the opposite.


Anyways, I also have some goals for this blog.

1. To have a regular posting schedule 
2. To have more viewers/readers
3. To make a difference through this blog.
4. To make this more interactive with YOU!

Please comment below and put down some feedback. I want to hear from you guys about what I could be doing better, or what's fine with you. 

I just want to do something.

PS: Wow, you're so lucky! 2 posts in one day?!?! OMG!

Explaining,,,

I was just overlooking my blog, as sometimes I just check it to see the stats and what's going on... I notice the name of this blog: Cancer is Deadly. 

I made that username/blog name in the fourth or fifth grade. I just now realized that my name is something that can be totally perceived as something deep, or as something that is offensive and horrible.

What people might think it means, is that "oh. you're going to die from cancer."

How I meant for it to mean: I don't know what it was supposed to mean. What  I think I meant it was "Cancer is deadly, for the spirit."

But that was almost four years ago and what's done is done. I cannot go back and change that name, nor can I go back and retrieve the people who could've been hurt by this. 

I guess I had some explaining to do....

R.I.P Daisy Merrick

Daisy Love Merrick
R.I.P February 16, 2013

Daisy Love Merrick was a surfer, warrior, and overall nice girl who met many people, though I was not one of them, I know that all of the people that she met loved her. Daisy relapsed from Wilms Tumor (a kidney cancer) 4 times. Daisy's brother Isaiah loved her very much, as did her parents. Daisy was also a devoted Christian, and loved Jesus. She believed that Jesus would heal her, although he didn't, he took her to a better place, which was heaven. R.I.P Daisy Love. You will be missed.

Just Saying...

Happy Valentines Day!!!

Anyway, here is a reminder:

I am not working for anyone. Not for any families, or organizations that I have second-handily been advertising. I am a teenage girl, with lots of empathy for those suffering around her. I am not working for Live United, or anyone as others have thought. So, yeah. I just have a lot of empathy for the local, and non-local, cancer warriors.

Stay Healthy, and God Bless you all,

Sandy Hook

It has been brought to my attention about the terrible Sandy Hook tragedy. For those who haven't heard, last week a man named Adam Lanza burst into the school and killed the principal. The trip was originally meant for Lanza to kill his mother, for unknown reasons, but turned into so much more. The US is very saddened by this news. Adam Lanza killed himself on the spot after killing his mother, a few other teachers, 20 children ages 5-7, and principal of Sandy Hook. I wish this didn't happen. Schools should really improve security or something. Why is the US so violent anyway? A moment of silence please........


And remember:
-Take time from every day to remember cancer angels, and now the Sandy Hook angels
-Live life to the fullest
-Never back down


I hope this helps, if you are grieving. Thanks for the support!

R.I.P Taylor Warren

I heard today that Taylor Warren, an ALL patient died on March 5, 2012. I am very saddened by this news. I am sorry for her family, but I believe Taylor is in a better place. Heaven is the best, because it ends her suffering. Tomorrow, which is Yom Kippur, I will make sure she is remembered. I hope the best for her family, and I hope she is remembered well.

If anybody wants to make a eulogy, please do, in the comments below. I'm sure she was an amazing child.

New Disney Princess: She Should Be Bald!

As many know, blue is the color of cancer awareness, I will ALMOST ALWAYS write in blue. As I discovered on different facebook pages, websites, Dear Blank Please Blanks, and conversations people want a new Disney princess, not an ordinary princess! A bald one! For cancer awareness. All the cancer warriors who loved princesses must feel bad about the hair situation right! I think that they deserve it. Disney, I don't think knows. Soon when they discover it I think they need to record everyone who is working on Bald Princess for the Warriors project. We all deserve some applause and recognition. Especially the warriors who want this project. Of ALL ages! I was  a cancer warrior 10 years ago. The princesses had long, flowing locks, but let's just forget about that.

Cancer Awareness Hair Bows

A couple of days ago I was in a craft store, and I saw some pink awareness ribbons. I am not setting up a store, but I'm telling you, I am going to make hair ribbons, IV clips and you can clip them everywhere! I think it's cool, especially since buying the spool benefits the American Cancer Society. Also. I love feedback, so leave comments!

New Disney Princess: Will She Be Bald?

As you know, many people are fighting and protesting about all of the hairy princesses! We need one (OR MORE) bald princesses for the cancer warriors. There have been numerous facebook pages, websites, youtube channels, and Dear Blank Please Blank. The cancer warriors probably feel bad about the hairy situation. They deserve a princess that can relate to them! All of the princesses have long flowing locks, are pretty, and look almost anorexic. Can we at least have ONE princess that relates to people! Cancer Warriors or people just like us! Fight for this cause! Leave comments below and also become a member! FIGHT FOR THEM!
