Have I got a story for YOU! (and important challenge for readers)
So, the Mane Men and Albright Angels (our two Accapella groups here at Albright) were on our way to give a show at the Lincoln Park Church about 15 minutes from the school, and we encountered a few... technical difficulties...
To make a VERY long story short, we got a flat and spun out (there was actually a long, messy series of events, but you don't need to hear all that, and it's not important anyway 8') Anyway, we got to the church on time and gave an AMAZING and VERY FUN performance, and then Mr. Binger (choral director)'s assistant, the Reverand Dr. Michael Ball, took the time to take me over to the police station to sort some things out (yeah, so there's definitely more to the story, but let's just focus on the Rev for a sec, capiche?). That's the kind of dedication that Albright's professors/directors/coaches/aides/random staff have to the student body. This is truly an AWESOME establishment.
On another important note, I am a pending member of the Sigma Alpha Pi Society of Leadership and Success. Every couple of weeks we have a videoconference, and this week the speaker was the society president, Gary Tuerack. He gave us a Three-Day Challenge, which I extend to all of you. The challenge is to live "on the edge" for three days. You do all of the things that you were always afraid to do or that the voice in your head made you too afraid to do (all within the boundaries of the law), and I mean more than just bungey-jumping and that stuff. It's about bettering yourself and getting to all of your life's goals sooner. ISN'T THAT SOOOOOOOO EXCITING!!! Honestly, just go all out and try it! You don't have anything to lose! I challenge you to better yourself. I start tonight with a little planning, and tomorrow I begin my life on the edge! Actually, I don't think that I'd feel I have the time to do something like this if it wasn't for the accident. Everyone in the van was okay, but the accident could have been REAL bad, even fatal... and now I'm given someone who's telling me to live life on the edge for just THREE DAYS!!!!!! How can I possibly pass that up?!? It's like God's just SCREAMING directions at me, like, "WAKE UP, DUMMY, AND GET LIVING ON THE EDGE!!!! YOU COULD DIE TOMORROW, SO STOP WASTING TIME AND GET OUT THERE AND TRULY LIVE!!!!!!!! ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING GREAT!!!!!!! NOW!!!!!" And when God uses exclamation points, you listen 8')
Good night, God bless, and Accept the 3-Day Challenge... if you dare!
There's no time like the present!!!!
