Today I\u2019m pleased to introduce you to Nic. The two of us spent a year in fourth grade together. He was a student. I was the teacher. Nic\u2019s a 9th grader this year, with a drivers\u2019 permit and an old VW Beetle he\u2019s fixing up with his dad.<\/p>\n

Nic\u2019s a kid with a grin on his face most of the time. When he was in fourth grade, his grin was biggest the day he came in and said his annual check up revealed no sign of the cancer he\u2019d overcome when he was a toddler.<\/p>\n

Nic was in middle school when the cancer returned in his thigh bone. But a year later when he agreed to be interviewed for my book, he was grinning like always. The pictures posted on his CaringBridge page<\/a>, show he\u2019s still smiling.<\/p>\n

His battle with cancer continues, and his story is pretty amazing. I encourage you to visit CaringBridge<\/a> and read about him and his family. His grin will have you smiling in no time.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t get any ideas about riding in his refurbished VW before I do. I\u2019ve already called shotgun for a spin around town right after his family members have their turns. There are certain perks teenagers give to their\u00a0 fourth grade teachers. I plan to take advantage of all of them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
