Taking new steps was never a problem for my brother. He would buck up, square his shoulders and head off to any challenge. I was the shy, unsure one in the family. If my brother stood by my side in a new venture I was okay, otherwise I would just stay home.
It was my sixteenth birthday and my high school prom was just around the corner. I had no intention of going, or even being asked to go. That ended along with a bit of my trepidation when my brother introduced me to his basketball teammate, Joe. I practically swooned when he asked me to go to the dance with him. I mumbled a yes and that step led to more steps until I had some confidence under my belt.
