8.Newspaper reporters are standing along the red carpet that is waiting for guests of the Second Chance Dance.Unfortunately,the girl who created it can't be there to see what she created.
Felicia Ann Armstrong died at home in Jeffersontown in August last year,following health problems that began when she was born.She was only 19years old.
Felicia once made it to her junior prom(中学正式舞会) at North Bullitt High School despite health problems that made it difficult for her to eat.She wore a beautiful dress that hit above the knee,and one of her best friends accompanied her as her date.Felicia had a great time at the dance,and she wanted other kids with health problems to have a chance to experience that.
During one of her last stays at Kosair Children's Hospital,she came up with the idea for the Second Chance Dance,a dance for teenagers who have missed the prom because of serious medical illness.She approached officials of Kosair Children's Hospital and Norton Healthcare with her idea and what made her excited was that she got an immediate yes from the officials.She told them,"One big thing that's going to be really different is that I want everybody to get a crown.Not just a‘king'and‘queen'.
Her dream has become a reality today,when the Children's Hospital Foundation and BraveHearts sponsor(主办) the dance in her honor at The Henry Clay downtown.Many people value it very much and tell the reporters that they hope the Second Chance Dance will turn into something bigger-perhaps become an annual event or even something other cities pick up on.
