inspirational person

If I could meet anyone in the world, I would like to meet someone who would inspire me, such as Brandon Houston, an eight year old cancer patient. I have read about him through many articles and would love to meet him. Believe it or not, I could care less if I met a famous person. I would much rather meet a cancer patient and talk to him/her about their life and all the struggles and triumphs that come with it. I think I would gain a lot of compassion and sympathy if I ever had the chance to meet Brandon. I think he is a very down to earth person, as well as, kind and empathetic.  

I don’t have much knowledge about cancer, or how much harder life would be to live with this disease, as well as, the effects it has on close family members. However, if I had the chance to meet a cancer patient such as Brandon, I would probably be astonished to learn how much more difficult living a life with cancer truly is. Through meeting Brandon, I think I would be much more grateful for my own life and health, knowing that so many people have it much worse than I do. The inspiration I would receive from talking to this little eight year old boy would be life altering. Not only would I gain a lot of knowledge, but I would also gain wisdom and compassion. I think knowledge, compassion, and respect  would develop fairly quickly through a brief conversation with this little boy, which would be very helpful to me  in my own life, and greatly benefit me in the future.

Although I admire and have read much about Brandon Houston and and his everyday struggles, it would be so much different to actually meet him in person. He seems to be a very intelligent young man. In my opinion, Brandon knows the true meaning of life. He has many stories to share, and kindness to spread. I think there would be many benefits to meeting a cancer patient and many important life lessons that could be learned. 

Although Brandon may only be eight years old, he has the heart of an angel. Brandon has experienced many traumas throughout his short life, but he’s staying strong and he’s holding on. He seems like a very optimistic person who just loves life and never takes life for granted. Brandon has many outstanding qualities which I would love to obtain for myself, and I would greatly enjoy the opportunity to meet him.
