02.07 Free Choice Blog:

              Pray For Kate:
   
    Recently I came across the story of a little girl that has been fighting for her life over the past 18 months. Her name is Kate McRae, she is six years old, and she has a massive brain tumor wrapped around her skull. It is amazing how fast someone’s life can change. Kate went from having a perfectly normal life, (going to school, playing with her friends, and doing all the other things a little girl should do in her life,) to living in the hospital  not knowing if she was going to be with her family much longer. This all happened in only a few days over time.

   That was just the beginning. Kate went through many things over the course of the year. Many heart-wrenching stories were told on the blog that her mother started so that other people would know Kate’s story. There were many bad days but there were also many good days. The thing about Kate was she was always trying to find the good in her situation.

   Nowadays Kate is getting better. She is still fighting cancer but she has not been on Chemo in over eight months. She continues to spread cheer to everyone around her. She is an inspiration to everyone she knows and has helped many people. I hope that she continues to progress in her treatment and that one day she will be able to live a cancer free life again.


                            My Thoughts:
   Personally, this story touched my heart. I feel for Kate and I hope that she knows that there are people in the world that really do care. I admire her parents as well. You would have to be a very strong person emotionally to go through something like they are going through. I sincerely hope that she continues to get better.

  
   If I were to create notes to help identify the major points in this selection, I would just create a list. I feel that making lists are the easiest ways for me to take notes.
