On our way to the school to get ready for the home-coming game, and stopped at a red light, I notice that my best guy friend, and longtime secret love interest, Andy, is looking at and smiling at me. "What?" I asked, blushing a little and return-ing his smile."I'm just really proud of you for how strong you are, and am so grateful that you are here.""I appre-ciate that, Andy, and am grateful for the same thing."If you would have told me two years ago that I would be cancer free and the head captain of my school's varsity cheer squad, I would not have believed you. After all, I had been dealing with an aggress-ive form of Leuke-mia. Thank-fully my faith in God and the support of my amazing parents and every-one got me through it! Today, I am doing the best that I have in years!
