My Dream
A Writing Competition For High School Students 
in the Fairfield Area, Sydney, Australia

Christina Samarasekera - Consolation Prize

My dream is to become a very famous and significant person renowned throughout the whole wide world. Not by being a pop star, a politician or an entertainer… My dream is to find the cure to a supposedly incurable disease cancer and save millions of people all over the world. For generations to come I will be a very important person in medical history. There is no greater thrill than saving the lives of innocent people. Lots of people all over the world are being diagnosed with cancer every year and die because there is no cure. When I heard about this fatal disease raging throughout the world I was very sad and then disappointed that there was no cure, yet. So instead of thinking that someone will find a cure I took it into my own hands to one day find the cure to cancer. Not only do the cancer patients suffer terribly but also so do their families, relatives and friends. Cancer kills many people ever year but effects many more. Experiencing the loss of loved one due to cancer you should realize that many more people out there are suffering the loss of a loved one too.

Throughout the world people suffer from different types of cancer, depending in which country they live in depends on what cancer is common. Here in Australia, skin cancer is very common due to the fact that we are close to the ozone layer’s hole means that the sun’s ultra violet rays cause damage to our vulnerable skin. Around the area of Chernobyl and other area where nuclear disasters have occurred, people have leukemia, birth defects, different types of abnormalities and other types of cancer. This is because nuclear power stations around that area have slowly been releasing radiation over the years and have effected many generations of people, animals and plants as well. In Hiroshima and Nagasaki due to the atomic bomb blast which killed many innocent lives and is still doing its damage. Many people now suffer from leukemia a disease of the blood.

The popular and heart felt story of Sadako the Japanese girl who diagnosed with leukemia and determination of curing herself by making 1000 paper cranes boosted my ambitions to save many more people like Sadako. Many types of cancer in my opinion man made problems, but now it is too late to correct these mistakes but it’s worth a try. There’s no one we can blame but the whole human race because some day in our lives we would have made a contribution to the beginnings of some type of cancer.

Finding the cure to cancer maybe a very painstakingly long process and it may not be possible but it is definitely worth a try because this may be one type disease, which is a threat to the human race. Not only are the humans in danger many animals and plant species are under threat of extinction. The truth behind cancer is very hard to believe that one-day life on Earth could be impossible.

Many pharmaceutical companies are paying big bucks to find the cure to cancers using western medicine. My belief is that these western medicines will have side affects, which will probably make problems bigger. Probably the best way to find a cure to cancer is naturally using herbs and other natural products.

‘Many people died of cancer while the herbs, which could of
cured them grew on their graves’
Sabastian Kneipp

Mr. Kneipp stated that herbs which could of cured people probably grew on their graves this could be correct but no one has tested this, so any herb species could be the cure to cancers. So in my opinion I think that the cure to cancer would be much healthier if it was a natural cure.

Rudolf Bruess was a man who found a natural cure to cancer although many people don’t use his cure he sold thousand of copies of his book ‘Bruess’ cure to cancers’ and has saved some lives. His cure consisted of carrot juices, sage teas and other natural mixtures. These natural mixtures seem to be the way to find a cure to cancer but scientist need to run tests and prove this. This is the type of way I hope to cure cancer, through natural products.

People can help boost funding by buying Daffodils on Daffodil Day. Many scientists throughout the world are trying to find a cure, make a contribution to show their efforts are not in vain. Every contribution counts and I give my support as well and hope one day before it’s too late some body will find the cure to cancer. And I hope that some body will be me.

My dream is to find the cure to cancer and save many people suffering terribly. Just donating an organ and saving one life is one big thing but imagine saving the lives of many people for generations to come. People would value me as a very important person in history. Being famous and talented is really mad and cool but it doesn’t last like the feeling of saving that many lives from a supposedly incurable disease. With ever ones help finally some day the fatal, dangerous, supposedly incurable disease of cancer will be beaten.

One day I hope to hear as a ghost if there is such thing my great grand child say to a friend ‘ You know who my great grand mother was?’

‘No,’ the other child would say uninterestedly. 

‘ She was Christina Samarasekera the lady who found the cure to cancer!’

Oh my gosh, she’s my hero cause I had cancer as well… ’The child would reply dreamily.

It would be a dream come true, but not every ones wishes are granted only those with strong faith and determination to achieve their dreams.

THAT’S MY DREAM COME TRUE…
