I could hear my brothers trying to make a beat while clapping. I never knew how adorable they were. Although, what if I died, I would never see them again…I thought. I should never have thought about it to make myself more afraid.

My vision blurs out. I open my eyes to three nurses looking straight down at me. I sit up to see the sight of my brothers playing around with hospital equipment as if it was some sort of toy.

    My family and I had to make the hardest decision if I were to stay home schooled, or go to public school. I really wanted to go to public school, but a small part of me wanted to stay home schooled because I thought I wasn't ready to bring on that big of a challenge.

Friends is another one because I know a lot of people that go to Foothills, but I knew there will be pumps along the way.…
