Changing the World by Lawend Barzenji

              If there was one thing I could change about the world and I had unlimited resources I would find a cure to cancer. Cancer is a big deal to me because my mom passed away from it. It has affected my life and a ton of my friends lives. I can not even imagine what it feels like to live with something so horrid.  I feel like cancer is becoming more and more common and something should be done about it before it keeps growing. I think if I had unlimited resources I could cure it, not just me but anyone could. I believe the cure is out there, it just needs to be discovered.

              First thing that I would do is dedicate my entire time to researching cancer. I would start from the basics. I would study what cancer is and the different forms of cancer. Next I would study it in more detail. For example, how cancer attacks, how it develops in the body, and whether it is genetic. I would then go to school and study to become a doctor and get a job specializing in dealing with patients who have cancer. This way I would be able to not only study cancer from the internet or a book but also look at a real life person with cancer. I would see how the cancer is acting in their body. As a doctor I would have my own lab where I would construct different experiments everyday and test them on animals. Eventually I would discover a cure and test it on humans. Since I have unlimited resources it would be much easier for me. I would not need donations or anything like that. 

              It would change the world for the better. People would not have to live in fear of cancer anymore. I would make it so that being diagnosed with cancer would be the equivalent to being diagnosed the common cold. I can only begin to imagine all the lives that would be saved. I don't know if it would completely change the world but I could sleep better at night knowing millions of people out there could sleep with one less thing to worry about.
