Shannon:

I am definitely concerned about developing skin cancer. When I was 15 or 16 I had a mole removed on my back. It was actually done by a plastic surgeon because that area that it was located and I recently, just in the last year, I had one removed on my side.

And I see myself developing moles, and I know that it’s because of my skin, my sun exposure. And the one on my back was actually a pre-cancerous mole, so I know that if I want to prevent skin cancer that I really have to focus and wear sunscreen, especially because I am so fair and I obviously am prone to it.
