Nineteen-year-old Jon Sangrey hopes to be a millionaire before he turns thirty and would want to make it in college football. On the surface, this would seem like a really good example of a regular American teenage boy dreaming about his future. But Jon was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor two years ago and underwent rigorous treatment to treat the cancerous growth. He still goes for regular check ups to keep the cancer from returning. To take care of his affected eye muscles doctors recently inserted a gold implant in the upper lid to make it close.

Anyone who has seen hip-hop artist Jay-Z will agree that he is one of the miniscule male rappers that takes care about his image. When not making appearances at his energetic shows, he is usually spotted in a tux or a fitted suit looking all dapper with his arm around his gorgeous wife Beyonce. I can safely say that Jay-Z has brought the muffler and bow tie looks a completely different twist altogether. You can see very few rappers dressed to the nines in a classic suit. Somehow his eyes always draw my attention though and make me wonder how they would look after he had an eyelid surgery California performed on them. If you look closely, Jaz-Z has slightly droopy eyes and bags under his eyes which I feel are congenital. It’s hard to imagine a guy having a wife like Beyonce having m
