“Meredith Anderson, you get to start us off,” announced
Mrs. Rickman. Three to go. Confidence. Meredith performed
flawlessly, setting the bar high for all who would follow.
Mrs. Rickman called the next name. “Amber Appling.”
Two to go. Confidence. Katie looked up at the ceiling as
Amber performed her cheer.
“Emerson Blakely, you’re up.”
One to go. Confidence. Katie closed her eyes and
visualized herself doing all of the actions while Emerson
chanted the words of the cheer.
“Katie Brosser, it’s your turn,” Mrs. Rickman announced.
Katie took a deep breath, smiled enthusiastically, and
jogged to the middle of the gym, her head held high. Here we
go. Confidence.

“Brenda, you will fit in fine,” Alicia insisted. “You’re friendly,
smart, and fun to be around.”
Brenda rolled her eyes.
“You probably don’t even remember when we moved here to
Omaha because you weren’t even in preschool yet. But I was in
sixth grade, and I had to transition from a small school to a gigantic
middle school. I was like a fish out of water.”
“That’s supposed to make me feel better about moving?”
Brenda asked.
“I’m trying to point out to you that you are actually fortunate.
You get to go from a big school to a small school, and it’s going to
be great for you! You are a talented athlete in every sport, and
that’s going to make it so much easier for you. The girls in Sibley
will be thrilled to have you join their teams. Besides that, you’ll make
friends just by participating in sports. Hasn’t that always been the
case in the past?” Alicia reasoned.

As his mom pulled into the hospital’s parking ramp,
memories came back to him as fast as the raindrops running
down the window. He recalled the doctors and the nurses,
the painful procedures, and that horribly nauseous feeling he
felt whenever he took his pain medication.
He also remembered the good things that happened
during his 1-month stay in the Children’s Hospital; namely, his
friendship with Henry. Henry made the entire experience
bearable.
He remembered May 13th, the day he was discharged
from the hospital, and the guilt he felt because Henry was
forced to remain in the hospital there- the doctors were still
trying to rid his body of the cancer he was fighting.
