Through meeting with Jason Hungerford and talking about this experience with colon cancer, I have learned more about how to deal with family or friends suffering from bad experiences. Jason talked about using the concept of rings around you, with you being in the center of the ring and your friends/family/acquaintances stemming outward (like ripples). As the person in the center of your ring, when you seek comfort, you naturally gravitate outwards. However, a person outside of your ring should seek help outwards, not inwards.
Talking with Jason also made me realize that we should take the time to enjoy life and not focus 100% on work. This applies to school, since many people just focus on school instead of taking the time to gain new experiences and live.
This was super inspiring, sometimes we let trivial matters cloud our thoughts. It is essential to remind ourselves of what is going on in the world, and what issues people are dealing with. We should always be thankful for what we have, and keep praying for a bright future!
