SARAH
“Sarah Marie Thomas!”
My name echoed from the loudspeakers, and it was my turn to go
up on stage. Pride filled me, along with the wild fear that I might
stumble and fall face first in front of all my classmates.

With careful steps, I took my moment and strode across the stage. In my
crisp blue uniform, I hoped nobody could see how sweaty I was through the
fabric. Graduation day at the Air Force Academy in Colorado was
something I had been looking forward to since I was a little girl. Years of
hard work, dedication, and sacrifice were paying off. But the pressure?
It was cooking me alive.
I smiled for the camera and continued down the stage steps, my
shoulders back and my chin held high. The applause from the crowd had me
grinning wider. I’d always thrived in a pressure cooker.
“We did it,” Maddie, my best friend, leaned over and whispered in my
ear. She gave my ribs an eager jab with her bony elbow. “I can’t believe we
did it!”
We had been through it all together—the early morning drills, the
rigorous academic courses, the grueling physical training. And now, as we
gazed out at the sea of faces in the audience, I couldn’t help but feel like I
was standing on the edge of something big. Something epic, even.
This moment was the beginning of my career in the Air Force.
Somebody pinch me.
I stood quietly and watched the rest of my classmates take their turn in
the spotlight. As the last of them received their diplomas, the final notes of
the graduation march faded away. The ceremony ended with speeches from
decorated generals, marking the end of our time at the academy and the
beginning of our careers in the Air Force.
Maddie shot me a giant grin and we ripped off our caps and tossed them
as high as we could. Tassels danced in front of the blue sky before the caps
descended back to earth. Family and friends cheered for us, but their cries
were just background noise to the roar of pride thundering in my ears.
Maddie threw her arms around me and jumped up and down, jostling
me. When she pulled back, she had joyful tears in her eyes. “I’m proud of
us,” she said.
“Me too.” Laughing, I ran my fingers over my slicked-back hair that
was pulled into a knot at the base of my neck, just like all the other female
cadets. I rose to the tips of my toes and peered over top of the crowd,
searching for the one face I wanted to see most. “Where is he?”
Maddie searched as well.
She had a good few inches of height on me, so
she spotted him first, spun me around, and pointed me in the direction of
my biggest supporter. “There,” she said, nudging me. “Go. I’ll catch up
with you later.”
I spotted him standing near the front, surrounded by a group of my
teachers, his uniform heavily decorated with all the service ribbons of his
prestigious career. With a grin plastered on my face, I made my way toward
him, my heart pounding with excitement.
