As my personal project topic I wanted to gain proper understanding on breast cancer and share my understanding with others. My learning goal was to increase my knowledge on breast cancer through various primary and secondary sources, in order to form an understanding on breast cancer in depth, and to understand how to format and create a website.
After gaining a deeper understanding of breast cancer and learning how to use formatting and designing tools to create a website, my product was to create a website with the purpose of informing young women about breast cancer through my findings. Many young women don’t know that breast cancer can even occur in your 20s/30s which is why this website will help to educate these young women so that they can avoid the risks of getting this disease.
For my personal project I first wanted to educate myself by researching on breast cancer and how it affects young women. I had an interest in breast cancer because seeing someone in my own family go through breast cancer made me curious to know about it and study it further.
After conducting detailed research I wanted to educate young women like myself on breast cancer and how it could affect even younger women, since this is a very unknown fact.
I decided to do this through creating a website on breast cancer in young women with various sections on causes, preventions, and other facts, while also having an inspirational section with blog posts of different breast cancer fighters and survivors. I also wanted to help other breast cancer fighters by creating a donation section in my website, and also allowing viewers to share their stories. The personal project journey helped be gain a deeper understanding on breast cancer as well as learning how to create an aesthetic and user-friendly website for a specific target audience.
