One of the many
Logan
River
Academy
students took several classes from one specific LRA teacher who started out with
long brown hair with a touch of white. Over time, the student watched as things
began to change for this teacher. One day she noticed that the teacher showed up
to work with a new hairdo, only to discover it was a wig. The teacher had shaved
her head. The student also watched as the teacher ate a snack between classes
so that she would not vomit, as she was going through chemo treatments. The
student then watched as her teacher struggled with her thoughts as she battled
chemo brain and the fatigue from radiation. The student then turned to her
teacher for ideas for a service project. The student knew she wanted to do
something for the Cancer
Center
and who would be better to learn from but that teacher. The student, along with
several girls, later went with her teacher to the Intermountain-Huntsman Cancer Center in Logan to deliver the blankets they had made for the patients to help them stay
warm during their chemo treatments. The teacher’s appreciation for the student
grew stronger as she watched her (and the other girls) show kindness and care to
others going through similar experiences in battling cancer. It was a special
experience for everyone involved.
