When everyone thinks of the term cancer, every individual's mindset probably goes towards lung cancer or breast cancer. While the month of October is dedicated to breast cancer awareness, the term that is not discussed enough is Childhood Cancer. The month of September is dedicated to childhood cancer. While the month of September is dedicated to childhood cancer, there is an organization at Augusta University that is helping support this cause perfectly. This organization is called Jaguar Miracle.

Jaguar Miracle has been on campus for almost a year. The current presidents are Bri Ridings and Brandon Edwards. While this organization has not even been on campus for a year yet, they are making an impact on the Children's Hospital located in Augusta, Ga and within the community itself.

Personally, this organization hit's close to home because I am a cancer survivor. While I was not treated at Children's Hospital, I found out about this organization through a close friend known as Harleigh. Harleigh was treated at Children's Hospital for her brain tumor. This organization has helped provide both myself and Harleigh an opportunity to help kids realize that their lives will get better.

This organization main event for this school year is the Dance Marathon. This event is a big party that will help raise awareness for The Children's Hospital of Georgia. Also, this event will take place at Augusta University. This event will start at 6:00 PM and end at 12:00 AM on October 28-29, 2016. Registration begins at 5:00 PM on October 28th. Every individual can register for this event at http://events.dancemarathon.com/index.cfm?fuseacti... . This will allow you to save the hassle of having to register on the day of. While this event will cost twenty dollars, their is a code that if you message me that will give you half off. The money that you will save will automatically be donated to the CHOG. So let's do this For The Kids "FTK" and help every kid realize that they are not alone going through these tough advisories.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
