In the small town of Clay Center, Kansas is a grandma, who is battling cancer and homework all at the same time. She does it all just to fulfill a promise before she dies. It started out as a bad cough five years ago. The x-rays revealed a spot: Stage 4 lung cancer. “They did a biopsy immediately and, by that Thursday, they took my right lung,” said Judy Renton, cancer survivor. Realizing her cancer diagnosis could leave her with little time, she went online and found her guardian angels, The Insight School of Kansas Adult School Learner program. “Everything is done online,” Leatha Hall, Judy’s school counselor said. “Classes are live so they open their computer, they login, they see a live class session.” She started taking her online classes, while at the same time getting chemotherapy at the Topeka Cancer Center. “I could spend those 6 hours in chemo to do my homework and even go to class,” Renton said.
