Today in Human Geo we decided to go down to the second floor the check out the cancer booths. Today was Cancer Awareness day here at John Carroll, and some people came in to show us different types of cancer- like breast cancer, skin cancer, and lung cancer. I learned about skin cancer and about my skin as well.  There was a machine at one of the booths that told you what your skin tissue was like. My skin is slightly dry around my nose and forehead and I have early signs of skin damage under my eyes. I'm glad I did this because now I know to use my SPF more often and to be more careful around the sun. There was another section wear they compared two lungs- a healthy lung and a lung that has been a victim to smoking. The unhealthy lung really grossed me out. I knew before that smoking was bad- but I had never seen what horrible effects it can have on your body. I had a great time in class today.
