One Beat at a Time September 8, 2008. It was a normal day just like any other. “Alix, it’s time to wake up and go to school. Hurry, or you will be late!” called her mother Carmen. “Okay mom, I’m coming.” Shouted Alix in an alert, yet sleepy tone. Alix got up, rubbed her tired eyes, and began to go through her morning routine. She chose her favorite outfit for a cool, fall day; blue jeans and a sparkly pink shirt. “ba bum, ba bum, ba bum” her heart beat on. After lacing up her tennis shoes,…
