Getting to know more About Me
Dallas brooke leinani millwood
My name is Dallas Millwood. I am a sophomore at Kamehameha High School. I got into Kamehameha as a 4th grader. I enjoy playing softball and playing piano. I live in Mililani Mauka, I moved from Mililani Town a couple years ago. Before I lived with my 3 older sisters, my parents, and my dadʻs mom. I was very close to my grandma but when I turned 8 years old she passed away. She passed away from cancer and from that day on I always wished someone could find the cure for cancer. It hasnʻt been found yet so once you find out that someone that you love has cancer, you should do all you can to make sure you spend time and cherish moments with them before they go with God.
why i chose this topic
My grandma Amy got to go and get help from a cancer treatment center and that helped her to live a little longer than expected. They gave her only a certain amount of time to stay with my family and I but with help from the treatment we got to be with her for a little longer. It is always sad to have one of your loved ones pass away. But when you are a parent and your child passes before you, that is something very hard to cope with. I chose this topic because children donʻt deserve to have to go through the pain of having something and not being able to get help. Children need to go and experience new things and be able to grow up but with a thing like cancer it is tough on everyone. Since my grandma got help and got to live for a longer period of time I want that for the children. I want the children to be able to go home to their loved ones and let them make more memories and cherish them. Giving someone more time to live is an amazing thing and raising just a little amount can make a huge difference. So with one donation I can help make a difference to several peopleʻs lives.
