I would personally be uncomfortable if I was that girl and they made the whole thing about me 😭 I’d appreciate a tribute but I wouldn’t want to take away from others

True they shouldn’t make it ALL about her, I’m sure even she wouldn’t want too much attention like that. You’re not a bad person for thinking this! At least make like a mention of her and then go back to everyone else

insensitive but we’ve all worked hard to get through school (we’re in nursing school) & i feel like we should all get recognized for it. i feel bad for the classmate & i pray she’s okay (it’s a rare form of cancer). i just feel like making the entire graduation about her isn’t fair to everyone else. like yes we should do something for her but not make graduation solely about her

ig i feel this way bc a different classmate also had cancer (but a much less aggressive & more common one) & we did nothing for her. im not close with either one so to me it’s not about who it is. idk i just don’t agree with only recognizing one classmate while leaving out the other. & also making graduation solely about one person when we’ve all worked extremely hard to get there

Does this girl know about the tribute? I had an extremely similar experience and felt very put on the spot and uncomfortable, even though the gesture is very sweet. Not many people want to be known as the girl with cancer

any which way this goes your grad is still going to be a celebration of your hard work too!! Showing solidarity is nice but it’s okay to feel this is your moment, mb try to find another way to support her that’s less…public. Convincing the organizers of this tribute might be tricky so get peers on your side—re: not putting her on the spot (and omit the part about how we all worked hard😂 might come off bad. She & everyone knows she hasn’t worked harder she just got bad luck and a bad diagnosis)
