=Do You Know What Courage Is?= Do you know what courage is? Well, to me it’s like a warm feeling inside. Like a blanket, sheltering your scared side. It’s a burst of confidence that takes over. I know what courage is. So I’ll tell you the story about a girl. It was cold. March was always a cold snow with a bright sun. The girl was in the car, on her way to Children’s Hospital. Nothing was wrong but she had to get surgery. It was the 2nd of March. It was her birthday. Anyone who knew her knew that she hated hospitals & the nurses. She hated when they touched her & hated it when anyone touched her. It smelled like death & it was depressing. She had her stuffed snow cheetah with her. Keeping in mind that she was turning twelve but her step dad gave it to her & she was him to her. She made her feel comfortable. As she was looking outside she didn’t have the courage to get the surgery. She thought she was going to die. She was getting her tonsils out. Her mom stayed with her the whole way there. After her Grandpa dropped them of at the hospital he left. They sat & sat in the waiting room for Their number to be called. She saw all the other children that were so lucky to not be at the hospital on their birthday. She told her mom how upset she was about it but all she said was “I know, I know, but we have been waiting for this for about a year.” She made her mad but she just had to face it. Then their number was called. She was so happy that they weren’t sitting there for about another half hour! They went to a really colorful room full of really nice people. She was surprised that they were like that because every hospital she’s been to, they were kind of mean. They took her to the surgery room. She unfortunately refused. The tried to take her in but she just wouldn’t budge. She fought the nurses and the desk lady. Eventually they just gave her a shot to go to sleep. When the surgery was done 15 min. later she woke up. She suddenly started screaming & crying for her mom. She was frightened & her eyes weren’t even opened. It’s was like she couldn’t open them. Her mom rushed to go see her daughter in tears! She comforted her until she fell asleep & did it again an hour later. After that they took her to her room. She ate apple sauce, took her medicine & went to sleep. Her dad came in the middle of the night sneaky like a mouse & went to sleep beside her mom the next day she slept al day. The day after, she was on her way home. They put her in a wheel chair and took her down stairs. On the couch at home her friends came to see her. She was like a baby in a cradle. At school a week later people bullied her. She suffered from insomnia & made it back from the surgery & all they could say was “Your such a baby!” All she said back was “Could you get surgery & be unafraid?” Today she is alive & well. I’m proud to know that girl was me!
