Being an Inspiration

As you’ve been learning, many people who have gone through the struggle with cancer have worked hard to make a difference afterward and become an inspiration to others. To be an inspirational figure is to live by example and to encourage others to do something: perhaps to be strong, to work hard, to help others and maybe even to become inspirational themselves.
 
On the LIVESTRONG.org site, you can read many inspirational stories or watch inspiring videos of cancer survivors.
 
Think about how these stories are records of challenges and accomplishments. They are moving dramas, but they also can serve as concrete lessons for us. Choose your favorite story to use in the activity for the LIVESTRONG at School lesson “Being an Inspiration.”
