Greetings! I sincerely hope that all of you are doing well. To give you a brief update on my life, I graduated from OU in May. After graduation I traveled Europe with my dear friend Seth Gustafson, I encourage you to look at the pictures on Facebook if you have not already done so. I am now working as a vendor analyst for QuiBids.com, the world’s largest entertainment auction website. My life is very good and I am thankful very day for the blessing that have been bestowed upon me. I am participating in St. Baldrick’s day again this year. St. Baldrick’s is a nonprofit organization that specializes in childhood cancer research. St. Baldrick’s gathers brave volunteers that are willing to shave their heads in order to raise money for their foundation. I will be shaving my head very soon and encourage you to donate. Cancer is a very prevalent and destructive force in our society. We have all been affected by cancer in some way or another. I am shaving my head to honor my mother whom gracefully and courageously battled breast cancer in 2005. My mother is a very important person in my life and it is very easy to attribute my success as a human being to her loving guidance. While dealing with the hardships of cancer treatment she was able to maintain her work load and keep the family together. It breaks my heart knowing that there are children that have lost their mothers to cancer and will not receive the same loving influence that I have been so lucky to receive in my life. It make me equally sad knowing the mothers have lost children to cancer and their mother will not get to see their precious babies leave their fingerprints on this earth. I am shaving for the children without mothers and the mother without their babies.
