I didn’t get the bike, but I got a sister with a fractured leg instead.

I got sick on the first day of school with the really hard 3rd grade teacher.

I got my license. I got my first debit card and bank account. I have a good paying job. My senior year is almost over. I’m doing my last recreational dance recital and got high gold in my dance competition. I took my sister to the mall alone for the first time. I felt beautiful for the first time, realized I am worthy of life and smiled with all the meaning in the world.
