Life's most persistent and urgent question is,"What are you doing for others?" --Martin Luther King
Ten significant things others have done for me:
- Mom showed me how to pray.
- Mrs. Hilbig taught me to read.
- Herr Bruderer opened my eyes to other cultures.
- Mr. Tolman explained the workings of our government.
- Mrs. Hathaway encouraged me to write.
- Jennie taught me to read music.
- President Peterson took me on Pioneer Trek.
- Dad tutored me in optimism.
- Rick Birnbaum gave me lessons on how to travel.
- Dee listens to me and understands.
