Modern Day Transcendentalists

In modern times, there are not many people who can be considered to be modern day transcendentalists. The pressures of society often stop that from showing who they truly are. They are often taunted or bullied because of their true character. But somebody who stands out as a true transcendentalist is a 14 year old girl named Abby Miller. She performs and sings to raise money for cancer. So far she has raised over $400,000 people and reached out more than 5 million.  Abby also met a 5 year old Taylor Love who suffers from a rare form of cancer called neuroblastoma that has no cure. Since then, she has been dedicating all of the songs that she sings on her YouTube channel to Taylor. She started posting videos on YouTube when she was 11. At her age it is really admirable about how passionate she is. Abby could be acting like any other high school student but instead she spends time trying to help find a cure for cancer. They aren't a lot of people would take the time and effort of performing and fundraising. She is selfishly donating her time. She truly wants to find a cure and she does it whole-heartedly. Many people are scared of putting themselves out there into something they believe in because they fear that they may be ridiculed or that they may not be taken seriously. There is so many ways that she could be discouraged. People might say that she doesn't have a pretty voice or that she's too young. But she surrounds herself with the positive and continues to sing and raise money. If we all took this lesson from her to put all our energy into something that we truly want accomplished, we can make a change.
