- The artwork behind the evening
A Light of Hope
I haven’t let that put out my spark. Yes of course there’s been difficult days but I have pushed through them with the help of my family and friends as well as creating art, reading, listening to music, and my favorite playing video games. It is unfortunate that there are so many kids younger than me going through the same thing or worse. So when I go to college, I want to strive to be like the kind nurses that I have met on this journey and help kids going through pediatric cancer because I know how it feels and hopefully can give those kids hope like those nurses did for me.
