SARAS LEGACY “I chose not to hide. I chose not to be Sara Khatib ‘10, the cancer patient and amputee, but to continue being Sara Khatib, the fourth-year pharmacy student who is clumsy, loves Nutella, and just happens to have cancer and a missing arm,” she said to a standing ovation during a TEDxLAU talk entitled “4 lessons I learned while battling cancer”. On September 5th, just two weeks after her talk at LAU, Khatib, 22, succumbed to cancer on September 5th which has already claimed an arm and caused her continuous pain. Her strength in the face of adversity has become a model for many and her words continue to resonate to this day. “You always have the option to smile in spite of your pain and enjoy every second of your life,” she said. IC staff and faculty send their deepest condolences to the Khatib family. May she rest in peace.
