The Lauren Contest

The Lauren Contest

How has Lauren’s life changed?
How has she coped with the challenges she has faced?


Lauren’s life has changed due to many things. First of all, Lauren has become an emotionally and a somewhat physically stronger person. She is now able to do things that cancer wouldn't allow her to do.  Next, Lauren has been able to share her courageous story of dealing with cancer with many people. She has personally inspired me by her amazing story and I believe that she has inspired others as well. Without her determination and willingness to constantly stay strong throughout her battle with cancer she may not have survived. Lauren has coped with her illness in a very positive and optimistic way. For example, in the article it tells how she filled jars in her hospital room with shiny smooth blue and red pebbles depending on how her day was. At the end of the story it shows that there were more red pebbles than blue, showing that she had had more good days than bad. Lauren is a great example on how to cope with hard things in a positive way.

  7. Great Job! You are very good at taking a big subject and fitting it into just one paragraph. Work on putting a little bit more adjectives in your writing. Besides that, fantastic job!
