Sarah, we will never underestimate you!

Sarah Can-cer-vive

Sarah is strong. Sarah is beautiful. Sarah is a pianist, a dog lover, a music nerd, a news junkie, a Ball State Cardinal, a daughter and a Kappa Delta sister. Sarah is not cancer. 

At age 21 and in her senior year, Sarah Stockton was diagnosed with breast cancer. Not only that, but the cancer had also spread to her lymph nodes. Now, along with her senior year celebrations, she must go through chemotherapy and plan for future surgeries. 

Sarah held the position as Vice President of Community Service on the Panhellenic Council. She is president of Lambda Pi Eta, a communication studies association. She excels on the debate team. She will be involved in the future of public policy. But she is not cancer.

In recent weeks since her diagnosis, there has been an outpouring of well-deserved love from Sarah’s sisters, friends, family, and peers. Through Crowdrise, a site raising funds for great causes, the Zeta Kappa chapter of Kappa Delta has raised $5,275 to assist Sarah with her medical bills.

Alli Eisenhut is also a senior Kappa Delta sister at Ball State.

"Sarah is that person who, when she talks to you, she treats you like the most important person in the world. She is so genuine and is one of the most positive people I know. For someone who has been there for so many others and does so much to make our community better, it is great to see so many people return the favor and help Sarah," said Eisenhut.    

With love, support, and strength, Sarah can overcome cancer. Check out Sarah’s story, leave her a motivating message, or donate at https://www.crowdrise.com/SarahCancervive/fundrais...

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.
