My Family

Hey everyone!

This first blog is going to be about a few family artifacts that I have added to my blog. As most of you already know, Breast Cancer is very big in my family. My mom, my grandma, and my aunt are all survivors of this horrible disease. Then in high school one of my really close friends lost her battle with cancer when we were freshmen. My dad, along with almost everyone on his side of the family, suffers from Diabetes. I have had my fair share of different types of cancers and I support Breast Cancer to the fullest. I have added a "I support Breast Cancer Awareness" picture at the bottom of my blog. Recently my 30 year old, non-smoking cousin has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer. I added a picture and tried to add the link to their page on Facebook. I ask for your guys support to like their page on facebook and help my family beat this as well.  
While these aren't "true" artifacts, just pictures, they still explain who I am and what is important to me. When we did this activity I could really see what was important to everyone else in the class. For young students, this could be an activity to help learn the backgrounds of their peers and to also help them understand that every one has special things or "artifacts" that are important to them as well.
