"What I want to be when I grow up" Story Contest
::::::::::::::::
Matt Ogle
Age 10
3 1/2 yr. Cord Blood Transplant
When I grow up I want to be a scientist.
Nah, too messy.
Or, maybe a marine biologist.
Nah, too wet.
Or maybe a pro-skate boarder.
No, I could get too hurt.
I just want to be me
and no one else.

Leukemia w/CNS relapse
When you're only 5, you constantly change your mind.
Being a grown-up, seems so far off.
Being a BoneHead Detective sounds like fun,
digging up dinosaur bones in the sun.
Steve, The Crocodile Hunter, gets to handle scarry critters.
But where do you find a wife like his, that
sees a spider and does not shiver?!?!
Exploring animals in neat locations.
That's what Jack Hannah does and he gets to see
all of God's animal creations.
Maybe growup and work with my Dad.
He is an Electrical Contractor -
and right now being his little helper makes me glad!
There are so many choices of what to be.
Maybe I'll take a nap and just dream of what to be...

Eman Amro
Age 12
A.L.L. Leukimia
My name is Eman Amro. I have had A.L.L. Leukimia for six years. I am twelve years old, and I an in the sventh grade. I want to be a fifth grade teacher. My fifth grade teacher is Mrs. Ash. She was the best teacher I have ever had. She treated me special because I was sick. She came to the hospital to visit me and brought me flowers. Someday I want to be a teacher just like her. Teachers play a big role in this world and I want to be a part of that.
Teachers really helped me, and if somewhere along the way I have a student who's cronicly ill, I will do the same. Being a teacher has always been a dream of mine. I hope one day I can be in a classroom and make a differrence in students lives.
I just want to say to everyone with cancer to keep going. Just believe you will get better and hopefully you will. You are stronger that a bunch of rude cancer cells who come into your body without you knowing. You can beat that horrible disease if you just believe. Keep faith and hope in yourself.
