60 Minutes
This video talks mainly about a boy named, Jack Andraka. Jack, at the age of 15, created a early test to find pancreatic cancer. His drive to find a test for this was from the loss of a family member due to this cancer. Hiss loss made him determined to help others before it's too late. Jack has traveled across the world, speaking about his discovery and how he came about it. He claims he is not smart, but It's not very common to see a 15 year old accomplish something so big! Jack's family supported him along the way, letting him experiment whenever possible. It has surely paid off! It's truly amazing what Jack has done, and I hope many others are inspired just as I am. Hopefully, others will believe in themselves to accomplish things they never thought they could before.

Hearing about his story is so neat. I can't imagine discovering something that could heal so many people. I like how you brought up that it's inspiring and should encourage us to do amazing things. I think you're looking at things in really positive light, because we aren't that different from the people around us, we just have to step out of our comfort zones for a minute to see that we are all people.
