The expedition on Cancer was completely boring. I learned a lot but nothing I’m really interested in. I think its because I never experienced cancer head-on that I’m not really into it. I’m not sure how I would react if a member of my family were diagnosed with cancer. I’d probably be worried for like a week until I did research that comforted me and gave me peace at mind. A lot of the time in class I was falling asleep waiting for the next class. I kept a lot of the information in mind cause I thought we would have a test or something. Fortunately we didn’t.
I learned that people experiences with their cancer range. Some can just see as another obstacle and completely dominate it and stride to acquire their goals even with cancer. Where as on the other hand someone can completely shut down and feel that his or her life is completely destroyed by the effects of cancer. I also learned the different treatments for cancer such as chemotherapy.
If we were to continue the expedition I would be annoyed. I’d do all the essays, projects, fundraisers or whatever they force me to do but I’ll be so pissed. I’d probably walk around school with an attitude towards the teachers.
The one and only part of trip I liked was the thrift store that we went to. I found this really cool hat from Moscow that I liked. I really want to get it. I’m not sure why we went to the thrift store though. I’m pretty you can get cancer from buying a cheap coat. Unless the store donates to cancer patients it was a complete waste of time. After that we went to a library and spent most of the time looking for a book that had what we wanted. We ended up with only two books. It sucked cause it had variations of the cancer we wanted but not exactly it. Next year I would suggest just using the Internet for our research instead of going to libraries and thrift stores. I’m sure it’ll be way more helpful.
The expedition was a valuable learning experience in opinion. I acquired a lot of information concerning cancer and how it occurs in our systems. I think its valuable cause I can use this information in college for a health essay or something. At this moment in time it is not valuable cause I have no use for it but in the long I could definitely use this knowledge.
