Kellie Pickler, the country music star many people have grown to love, proved to the world that friendship really is as strong as you make it. Pickler’s lifelong friend, Summer Holt Miller, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Pickler being the good friend she is decided to not let Miller go through this alone and instead stood up to bring more awareness to Breast Cancer. She made the loudest statement that she could by shaving her head with Miller. She wants people to know that, “Cancer does not discriminate”.
I feel this is a very touching story and newsworthy because it brings even more awareness to a cause. When stories show people doing brave and challenging things it makes others want to be better people. It makes people want to make a difference. In a way stories like this are almost a call to action. I think the story could have elaborated a little more on their friendship but for the most part this is a well written article. It made me see the small things we take for granted, such as our hair, and how we need to stop dwelling on things that aren’t that big a deal. When one person can do something so simple and have it make such a big impact you know it is worth paying attention to.

Good summary and good discussion. We all like to believe that celebrities are real humans underneath the fame.
