Heres my good-bye article.
Well, let's see, how do I
start… I DON"T WANT TO LEAVE! After three
long years, I guess this
really grows on you. It doesn't seem like
three years, it past by so
fast.
As I look back to the different
stories that I have done, I realize
that, well; I've done A LOT.
With 5 and Up, I got to do
things I never even dreamt of doing, like
riding a jetski, going surfing
and body boarding and flying on an
Aerochute. I even survived
a trek through the Jungle, learning how to
drink water from bamboo and
starting a fire with no matches.
I have enough stories stacked
up to even share with my grandkids
someday.
My experiences with 5 and
Up gave me an understanding for people-their
situations and their plight
.I remember clearly, like it was just
yesterday, when I shook hands
with a lady with AIDS. As I sat down and
listened to her story, I
felt my emotions change from fear to
compassion. I recall
the times that I got to meet famous people. From
singers, to band members,
from basketball players, to bowling champions,
all blessed with great talent.
I guess I can say that without
5 and Up, I wouldn’t know half of what I
know now.
I've experienced things that
not any other person would experience.
The only thing I regret about
5 and Up is, I could've, would've,
should've, done more. There
were just too many stories to tell, people
to meet, places to go, but
not enough time.
