Connection
I made a connection with music for Hazel Grace. The song I picked was Fight Song by Rachel Platten. I had made this connection because right when I heard this song I thought it was about cancer and fighting through it and that perfectly explains Hazel story. This song is very inspirational and very teaching about how to never give up.
