I woke up today. My mom was yelling at me to get out of bed or I’d be late for school.
I really hate going.

I woke up today, wishing I could go to school. But I am a girl. And where I live, school is only for boys. Maybe one day when I wake up I will go to school.

I woke up today. The other half of my bed empty. I really miss him.

I woke up today. I hopped out of bed and quickly got dressed. Today is my favorite day. Today my dad gets home.

I woke up today. My stomach is hungry. But, I still can’t eat.

I woke up today. Even though a year ago they told me that in four months I’d never wake up again.

I woke up today. Then, I went back to sleep.

I woke up today, and for the first time I used my new legs.
