My entire life I have been focused on doing service projects. I feel like all my life sketch is is service. I though I knew what it meant to care for someone more than yourself.
And yet I was so very wrong. The day we discussed tuesdays with morrie and my dearest friend, Jenny Montgomery, pointed out that she felt she should choose to live and be among the ten. Not because she didn't want to die. Not because she feared or didn't understand death. She wanted to live because she had someone in her life that needed her.
I've started looking more and more at what my responsibilities are as far as my example goes in my family and in my apartment. I've started understanding what it is to care for someone more than yourself. It blows my mind the capabilities that we have to effect someone else's life.
Thank you Jenny. Thank you Brother Grant. Thank you 11:30 class. I've learned from you. I've become better because of you. I will not forget the experiences that we have had together.
Thank you for the privilege it has been to come to know all of you.
