Since the month of October is known for being National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I thought it would be appropriate to use my official “Pink Out” shirt for my first artifact. I had recently purchased this shirt in order to wear it for OSU’s football game this weekend against Maryland, and although it may seem like a regular t-shirt, its meaning to me is more than what meets the eye. My great-grandmother was a breast cancer survivor who passed away almost a year ago. Without a doubt, she was one of the most inspirational people I have ever known. She lived for ninety-two years and experienced many different things throughout her life. On a brighter note, she was always known for making her delicious apple pies for any family occasion. While it was sad to see her go, her spirit remains strong in my family. By wearing this pink shirt to the game on Saturday, I will represent not only her but also every person, living or deceased, who has dealt with breast cancer. Every life is worth living, and we can remain hopeful that a cure will be found as we stand together.
