Looking through old photos. Found this one of me and Thomas. Any parents out there can relate to the fact that they grow up so fast.

When I was young my grandmother always wanted me to help out. I would pour the tea for the programs at church, and march in demonstrations. Ever since I was young I have known the importance of giving back, and I try to do this whenever possible.
