A postive look at my life. I accepted Kate Clifford's challenge to write in third person. My nickname as a child was "Becky Boo" Henry.
Becky has that look in her eye!
She has made up a disease again!
I say she is going to be a doctor or nurse when she is older! Something to do with the medical profession she will
always do! Every Halloween she is a Doctor! It never fails!
Being a sickly child did not stop Becky from getting good grades in school! She had her older sisters to pave the way for her too! That helped!
Becky has always been artistic,
she wore different colored socks to school every day!
She plays the piano too!
Music is a way to express emotion and delight for Becky!
Her artistic talent really showed up during middle school when she suddenly started sketching scenes of West Texas and Windmills! She loved the Windmills!
Her greatest delight though was composing music for a brief time when she was 12 years old!
A woman now, her name to loved ones is "Beckers" or "Bek."
She stared death down in its face and came back a fighting champion!
She accepts that she is having to relearn,
and is eager to start on her journey of knowledge once again!
She writes poems with a passion for it helps her emotionally.
However dull or bright, she loves every moment of LIFE!
