My name is Bryce. I am ten years old and I have cancer. What is it like to have cancer? Well it's not the best. I have had it since I was six years old. I went through the chemo about a year ago. I don't have hair right now so I wear a hat so no one makes fun of me. My mom said I was just sick. But I know the truth. My parents are always hugging me and making sure I'm okay if something happens. At least I have a family that cares about me. But they care way to much!
At school it's a little harder. There is this kid named "king" and he thinks he rules the school. He picks on every single kid at the school. No one knew what his real name is. Was it because it was embarrasing? No one knew... Anyways. I kept making up excuses why I would wear it. Only the teachers knew the real reason. So one day, he decided to go and take my hat off to show and tell people why I wear it. He had ripped it off my head, and so I ducked down and covered my head. There was this one guy who was there and he gave me his hat. My parents had asked me where my hat had been. I told them that I had lost it and so this other kid gave me his.
The next day at school, someone had told the principle about what happened the night before. She had him apoligize to me. He did, but I don't think he meant it. But you would never guessed who came up to me after school. "King". He said that he felt bad for me and that he would never do what he did again.
A year went by, me and hium were friends. I found out why he didn't tell anyone his name and why it was "king". It was because his name was Jamie, He didn't like it because he thought it was to girly to be a guys name. I had told him that there was nothing wrong with that name. Jamie and I had become friends, we stayed friends for a very long time. I was glad that no one woyld make fun of me having cancer now.
I never thought things could change so easily, until Jamie made it possible. He went from being a bully, to being a friend instead. He got along with everyone now. Eeryone is happy he changed. Almost as much as I am.
