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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
