The Cure Wincing from the rays of the sun beating down on me, I awoke to my father yelling from the downstairs kitchen. “Come quickly or you’re going to be late to school.” I flew down the stairs of our modest Californian home with great rapidity. Looking at the breakfast that my father had prepared, I saw a picture of my mother and my insides began to swirl around. My mother had died when I was five in a battle with breast cancer. Every year My Dad and I make a big breakfast in order to commemorate her and her love for breakfast. Now five years later we are still keeping the tradition alive. As I finished my breakfast, my father forced me playfully out the door to the school bus. While I was on the bus I thought about how much I missed

“How’s he doing?” My father asked
“Well, I will have to run a few tests to see whether or not he still has some the same skills he had before.” Said Dr. Gallagher After my father had left the room Dr. Gallagher began running his tests. He gave me fifth grade level material to see if my knowledge had dropped. Once he started reading me off questions I could feel my brain firing on all cylinders.

Once I arrived I was assisted by some of the best medical minds in the world. I quickly came up with a solution to cancer and was ready to test it on a subject. We injected the patient with the serum and all was going as planned the cancerous cells were exiting. Then out of nowhere the patient went into to cardiac arrest. I was in a panic I haven’t experienced failure since 5th grade. I locked up and the patient didn’t make it. The next few months I pondered on those horrible moments. I then decided to go analyze the data from the test subject. I found that I had used the wrong dosage. I did it, I found the cure for cancer. I then headed home to my dad back in California. He bent down to his knees and began to cry. I had finally done
