When I was a child, I was always fascinated by the world of medicine, as other children of the same age wanted to become a princess or a prince. At the age of five, I wanted to become a doctor. Well, I also wanted a pony, too, but everything isn't going to be given to me! I realized I had to work hard for it. When I was ten, I was in a science class, and it was a COVID year. We were learning about diseases all around the world. Then my teacher stumbled upon cancer. Every single type of cancer fascinated me.
At that point, one day, I kept looking up different types of cancer, and wanted to work at St.Peter's Hospital for cancer. Big dreams, you know. One day, I was in my room, and we got the call that one of my relatives had died of cancer. After that day, I wanted to find the cure for cancer, which was tough to do. Like I said, cancer has always intrigued me, but I wanted to go in-depth about cancer, so that is why I chose to research cancer and those cells being in a child's body versus an adult's.
The reason I chose this topic specifically is that I wanted to know which body would have more side effects or more complications in the future. This topic was very interesting for me. Like I said, I wanted to go more in depth about cancer, but see the cells of kids' cancer cells in their body vs adult cancer cells in their body. I wanted to know which one could be more invasive in which body. Which led me to this idea.
