I picked an article from the Omaha World Herald about the Glam Squad who goes into cancer units to cheer people up. The ladies go in at certain times and offer hand massages and manicures to the patients in the unit.  Many different stories could be written about this. For instance, their could be a story done to focus just on Sami’s experience with cancer, one from a doctor’s perspective on what helps patients in this unit feel better or gives them strength, one could be done from a patients perspective on what makes them brighten up during the day or how getting a little makeover makes them feel, a story with Sami and a doctor on what is allowed to be used for lotions and makeup on cancer patients, and one from a families’ perspective on how this effects their family member and the difference they can see.

I would pick to do an article about Sami and how she lived her life fighting cancer. It would be interesting to hear about her struggle and how she overcame it. I feel like that level that that interview would get into would be emotional, interesting, and make a great story that would inspire others of her struggle and determination.
