Disclaimer: I do not own anything Marvel, or anything from the Young Avengers.


I am not the sheltered little princess everyone would like to think me as. I am no longer the girl who requires assistance. I am no damsel in distress. None of these titles should ever be thrown in my face; or yours will hit the ground. I've come a long way and I've learned to harden my exterior to outside forces as well as numbing and ignoring the ones on the inside.

I've had one life changing experience and that was the cause for my change. We all go through life taking one thing or another for granted, but never again can I ignore the facts that life is precious. I could have died that gray day walking home through a path in the forest of the park. No one would have saved me; they wouldn't have been there in time.

If I died tomorrow, I would want people to recognize me as the new Kate, the youngest Bishop daughter who did not use her fame and fortune as an advantage over others, and the girl who did not succumb to the sweet seduction of greed and self-importance. I stand for making a difference, for helping out others.

I hope to be able to help others throughout in my lifetime. Life is so precious. So unbearably short. For this I am lucky: the gift of life. So I will not take it for granted anymore. I would just everyone to know I tried to be self-sacrificing, and accomplished all I could in my time.
