“Pirouette, Plie, again” were the last words I heard from Ms Brigida. Ballet became a large piece of my life at a young age of three where I could not fathom how much my teacher Brigida, was helping me shape my life in the right direction and how much she had taught me. After nine years of teaching me, she left and pursued her dreams. One morning as I walked into my ballet studio, a glimmer of light shone on a couple faded yellow flowers framing an inspiring picture of my once ballet teacher. A dark melancholy crept through my spine as I see tears falling down the somber faces of my friends. I can never forget the exact words, please join us in mourning Brigida Gianspero’s short life. At the age of only 27, pancreatic cancer has taken away her life. As a fourteen year old now in ninth grade, I thought why not find a cure for a cancer? Cancer is a disease featuring abnormal controlled cell division which then results in tumors and growths that could spread throughout the body. Unlike normal cells, cancer cells typically are “immortal.” They are immortal because there is no form of negative feedback loops that is stopping the cancer cells from dividing and multiplying, therefore causing a tumor or a growth. Research has been shown that high levels of sulfur reduces the size and number of cancer cells and abrogates tumor growth. (Li et al, 2010) The big picture of my research project was for me to find something that could stop cancer cells from multiplying. Much to my disappointment when I first started my research, I realized that cancer cells were not readily available, but that did not stop me from continuing on. After some research, I realized that scientific studies have shown that yeast cells could be used as an alternative to cancer cells when doing research. I am using Saccharomyces cerevisiae also known as yeast cells as an alternative. Yeast cells and cancer cells share a typical eukaryotic structure and are able to r
