Xaria Smith Xaria Smith is a 21 year old student who currently attends University of Arkansas and plans to graduate May 2026. Being a college student and daughter of a mother who is a breast cancer survivor is what qualifies her for this scholarship. Take a look at what she has to say about how breast cancer has changed her life and her journey as a supporter. "On October 21st, 2003, my 16th birthday, my mom was diagnosed with stage one breast cancer. The life I knew had changed the moment she sat my family and I on the couch in our living room with tears in her eyes. At the age of 16, I set aside my role as a teenager to become a care giver for not only my mother, but my father who had been battling with stage four kidney failure since the summer prior. Instead of switching my work and school schedule to attend the high school football games, I was switching my schedules around to ensure I could get my parents to and from their doctor appointments or surgeries. I had added well over 50,000 miles onto my car within the span of 7 to 8 months. I was a full-time high school student with two jobs and bigger responsibilities than any teenager should be given. The more responsibilities expected of me, the more appointments I scheduled with my therapist at the time. Due to the strictly transactional/care giver relationship that had formed between my father and I, my mother was seemingly my only parent. Every one of her appointments and checkups motivated the manifestation of an all-consuming anxiety. While my peers began to plan the universities, they were striving for and the decorations they were adding to their caps, I was learning how to mourn two people I was close to losing. Graduating high school and beginning my future didn’t mean much if my mom was going to be stuck in the confinements of the hospital walls, repeating the draining routine of blood draws and chemo appointments. I thought my life would go back ‘to normal’ when my mom went into remission roughly two years into her journey and I could have never been more wrong. I had forgotten what it was like to act my age and fall back into my role as a daughter. I had forgotten what it was like to put myself first, emotions and all. I hadn’t truly realized how badly I felt I was drowning because I forgot how to ask for help. Still to this day, I am relearning that it is okay to not be okay. At the age of 20, I am slowly making up for the fun teenage years I had missed, allowing myself to take a deep breath and live for myself." BACK

Kwame Thomas Kwame Thomas is a 24 year old graduate of Benedictine University Illinois with a bachelor’s degree in business and marketing. Being a college graduate and son who witnessed his mother being a breast cancer survivor is what qualifies him for this scholarship. Here's what he has to say about how breast cancer has changed his life and his journey with breast cancer as a supporter. At the end of 2023, as the world was preparing for a new year full of hope and resolutions, my world was turned upside down. I had just gotten off the phone with my mom when she shared the news that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. My heart sank, and a of thousand questions flooded my mind. I immediately started researching everything I could about breast cancer, desperate to understand what this meant for her, for myself, and our family. She told me not to worry, and she tried to be strong for me. But of course, I worried because it was a lot for me to process and that conversation changed something in me. I began to appreciate the time I had with her more deeply. I paid attention to the little things such as her laugh, her voice, the way she always knew how to comfort me. I realized that having a mom is a blessing that not everyone gets to keep forever, and I made it my mission to be there for her as much as possible. Thankfully, the doctors caught the lump early. That was the best news I could’ve hoped for. That meant there was a chance to fight this before it spread further. I watched her go to countless doctor’s appointments, sit through chemo and radiation, and face each day with courage. One of the most unexpected blessings during this time was how it brought me and my little brother closer together. Watching my mother go through this, as a team made our bond stronger than ever, and I’m so grateful we had each other to get through it. But what amazed me most was her spirit. Even when she felt weak, she never let it break her. She faced her treatments with her head held high, and little by little, I saw her get stronger. My mother has always been my greatest motivation, but this experience showed me just how powerful resilience and hope can be. It taught me that even in the darkest moments, there is light. My mom’s journey reminded me that life is fragile, but it’s also beautiful. We don’t always get to choose what happens to us, but we do get to choose how we respond. I truly believe that this gave her a second chance and a renewed purpose to keep living and loving life. As for me and for my little brother I believe it gave us a deeper appreciation for the strong woman we’re blessed to call Mom. BACK
