He wasn’t alone.
Nearly forty students from his high school surrounded him.
Every single one of them had shaved their heads.

No speeches.
No pressure.
No publicity.
Just kindness.
The response exceeded every expectation.
Students who barely knew Emma volunteered.
Football players.
Musicians.
Honor students.
Artists.
