9"Hi my name is Tanwa, and I am five years old! I am so excited to start kindergarten this year after the summertime! I used to go to preschool, but I had to stop because of this mistake in my blood called sickle cell. Sickle cell sometimes makes my body hurt, so I had to stay home from preschool. I've been praying every night for God to make me stronger, and like mum always says - God answers prayers. I am stronger now! So I get to start kindergarten this fall.
