__**Impact:**__
I liked making a brochure as a project because it allowed me to be creative and use information I found to inform others who don't know about this problem. Skin cancer is a very common cancer which is why i liked creating this brochure.This project helped me to learn a lot about skin cancer. It taught me things i didn't know before. For example, i learned about the three main types of skin cancer along with treatments and stages of how bad they were. When I had to put the information and fit them on to two pages it was difficult. There was a lot of inofrmation on this topic and I had to decide what was important and what other people would want to read about. But by making the terms simpler it helped me to understand skin cancer a lot more. By doing this skin cancer brochure it opened my eyes to reality and how common it is to get skin cancer.

**Intent:**
After learning this information about skin cancer I am more cautious about how I treat my skin. I do a few different things than before to help prevent myself from skin cancer. I now know the consequences of laying out in the sun with out sunscreen. Tons of people tan everyday, whether its layin goutside in their backyard or on the beach, or if they go into a tanning booth. But, these daily things for some people are very dangerous. Therefore, I not only put suncreen on everyday but i am more cautious about how long I am in the sun for. I also since this project have informed some of my friends and family about the causes of skin cancer. This project has impacted how I live my everyday life.
