Dawn's Acapella (6 page)
The bottom line is, we
shouldn’t stop what we have started. We may not be able to gather
anymore, or to call ourselves superhero names or dress up in
costumes at school, but none of that matters. I’ve seen everyone at
this school become a hero, and true heroes don’t just give up.
There will always be lives to save, even if it’s not obvious.
People like me often are invisible. All we need is something small,
to remind us that goodness still exists. Like a cookie. The club
may be gone, but I know that all of you are still
heroes.
So, only halfway through the school
year, the new club started and came to an end. But another club was
born out of it. Dawn started her own choir with several of her
singer friends. Dawn’s Acapella keeps the message of the Everyday
Heroes Club alive, and they continue to partake in random acts of
kindness every day, as well as fundraising for various
charities.
Other school clubs have followed suit
in ways the school can do nothing about. The cheerleaders wanted to
have a car wash, to raise money for new uniforms, they said. At the
last minute, they kept their old uniforms, and donated all the
money they raised.
The Everyday Heroes Club lives on as
Dawn’s Acapella. To the school, they are nothing more than an
amateur acapella group. To the world, they’re a light in the
dark.
All it takes to join is a song and a
little kindness.
Libby Robare is just another hopeless dreamer, from
the magical land of Oregon. She earned a degree in psychology, and
has so far only put it to use by studying the minds of fictional
people. On a typical day, she will go to work at a grocery store,
and make pretty fruit bowls and such, and return home to unwind by
dancing to acapella music and drinking lots of tea. By night, she
inhabits the Crossworlds realm, plotting and scheming the lives of
people like Rose and Dawn. All, of course, while wearing her own
black and gray dress.
