There was a pediatrician known for his gentle smile and soothing voice. Dr. Ho was his name, brother of Ms Gretchen Ho, famous news anchor! Every day in his clinic was an adventure, a place where tears turned into giggles, and fears into courage.

Dorensoy was there for his vaccination and check up, a rite of passage that filled him with dread. But Dr. Ho had a special way with children. He distracted Dorensoy with a tower of rainbow rings, each color telling a story of a magical land. As Dorensoy’s eyes sparkled with wonder, Dr. Ho administered the vaccine, swift and gentle. Before Dorensoy knew it, the deed was done, and all he felt was the warmth of bravery that filled his chest.
