Maybe I Can Fly

Ellie had never flown before. She stood wide-eyed at the airport window, watching the massive airplane sitting on the runway. It looked so high up and so far away from the ground. Her heart thumped inside her chest, and a knot tightened in her tummy. To Ellie, flying felt like a giant, impossible mountain to climb.
- Don't worry, sweetie, her mom said, gently squeezing Ellie's hand. - You've done things that scared you before. You can do this. Ellie's mom's words were warm and reassuring, yet Ellie's stomach still felt like a bundle of nerves. Her legs wobbled like jelly as they walked towards the gate.
As they stepped inside the airplane, Ellie's heart pounded louder. The plane was huge, with so many rows of seats and people bustling everywhere. - It's just like a big car, her mom whispered, trying to calm her down. But to Ellie, the plane felt like a giant, noisy monster. She wanted to run out, but her mom gently guided her to their seats by the window.
Ellie sat down and stared at the window, her fingers clutching the armrest tightly. The plane started to move slowly and steadily down the runway. - See? It's not so bad, her mom said with a smile. - It's just like a car ride but up in the sky. But Ellie's heart raced faster, and her breath came in quick, shallow bursts.
- Mom, I don't know if I can do this, Ellie whispered, her eyes wide with worry. Her mom leaned in closer, her voice calm and soothing. - I know you're scared, but bravery isn't about not being afraid. It's about doing it anyway. Ellie thought about her mom's words, feeling a small flicker of hope inside her.
Ellie remembered times she'd been scared before, like when she rode her bike without training wheels. She closed her eyes, squeezed her hands together, and took a deep, steady breath. The plane rumbled louder and lifted off the ground, soaring into the sky. Slowly, Ellie's fear began to fade. She peeked out the window and saw the city below, tiny like a toy town.
The warm sunlight tinted the sky with a magical purple-pink hue. Clouds floated around the wings, soft as cotton candy. Ellie could see the colorful landscape and the shimmering sea in the distance. For the first time, a smile spread across her face. - I'm flying, she whispered in awe.
As the plane soared higher, Ellie felt a spark of something new. Her fear was still there, but it didn't control her anymore. She felt brave, like she could do anything, even things that felt impossible before. When the plane finally landed, Ellie felt proud. - I did it, she whispered to herself. - I flew! And tomorrow, she knew she'd try something new too, because bravery was inside her all along.
