On that Thursday I was debating on whether or not to go to the Hillel Club that afternoon because my English Professor assigned a four page essay to do. But I pushed off working on the essay and I went, and it was worth it. That day the Hillel Club said they were going to have a speaker and that there will be a lot of food. When I saw that message I assumed it would be the typical guy who comes every Wednesday to give us a twenty minute motivational lecture with food and drinks on the side, but instead it was someone else and it was not just twenty minutes. That day the event lasted about an hour and a half because on that Thursday they brought in a singer and songwriter from Israel named Noa Bentor, who is a two time Breast cancer survivor. She went on to tell the story about her life, while trying to show students like us that there are people like her who go through harder things in life. She started off her story about how she was just living an ordinary life and that she would sing and make songs on her free time. Then she went on to tell us how hard it was to hear that she has been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. She said she was crying for days and did not really know what to do. Also, she believed that she would be cancer free one day and that she never really thought of death. During her first time with cancer she used singing to make her happy because she said that the chemotherapy was brutal and she was also upset that she had no hair anymore. Along with singing, her friends and family really helped her get through with it. They were always there for her and they always made her happy. She believed that having friends and family is very important in order to help you fight cancer. She then went on to say about how she was happy after being cancer free and that she kept singing and writing songs. About two years later her doctor made her get an MRI on her breasts and from that she knew the cancer was back. She said it was much worse having it the second time around because the radiation during chemotherapy increased. And even though she experienced it already, she became more scared because this time she started realizing that death may be near. That still did not stop her from singing and writing new songs. She had to stay strong through the whole process, especially because she had to get a double vasectomy. Again her friends and family were there for and never left her side all the way to the end. Thankfully she became cancer free again and now is still singing and writing as well as telling people her life story. That event that day really made the audience, including myself, be more thankful about what we have in life, and I am very thankful that I chose to go to the Hillel Club that day.
