An Impact Made from the Clouds

18 year old, Zach Sobiech lost his 4 year battle with cancer in May, however he wanted to leave something important behind for his loved ones and fans. Throughout his battle with cancer, Zach turned to music as a way to accept the cards that have been dealt to him. He began writing songs, so that he could not only cope with his disease, but to leave a lasting impact on many people after he was gone, especially his family and friends who loved him very much. Zach was always the person you wanted to be around because of his positivity and great personality. He was a major supporter of his siblings, parents and girlfriend. He didn't want his death to be devastating to his family, and he wanted to lighten up their lives even after he was gone.

 Zach wrote the song "Clouds" which went viral along with his story. With the help from some film makers and music companies, Zach was able to live his dream by recording some of his songs, and he was also able to make an impact on millions of people. All Zach ever wanted to do was make other people happy, but the film makers were able to contact many famous celebrities to help make Zach the happy one. All of these people were in a video lip syncing Zach's song "Clouds."

Although Zach lost his courageous battle to cancer, he inspired so many people, including myself to live life to the fullest every day and see the good in people. He also said an empowering line that stuck with me since I've seen the video. "You don't need to find out your dying to start living." He left an impact on me, and millions of people, including celebrities. Zach's life was cut short, but he lived every second of it to the fullest, and left his mark in this world. Zach Sobiech will live on in many peoples hearts, even if he is now just up in the clouds.

Here is the video that inspired millions
