Sarah, from my 2001 and 2003 teams, one of my favorite volleyball kids (I'll say top 5), who I haven't seen in about two years, posted some photos on her Facebook account of her traveling in Africa. I'm not talking about tourist shit, I'm talking about fucked up starving kids Africa. The images are stunning. I have no idea what she was doing there, but knowing her and her ambitions, I'm sure it has something to do with changing the world. I look forward to hearing about her time there.
This brings two feelings to the surface. The first is that I'm not really contributing anything meaningful to the world. I mean, blogging about my relationship issues and maintaining a place for people to talk about roller coasters is probably pretty low on the karma scoring game.
On the other hand, knowing that this amazing kid that once tripped over her own disproportionate legs is now an adult and still hell bent on having meaningful impact on the world is very encouraging. Some days you get bogged down in all of the suck that the world has to offer, but people like Sarah remind you that there is a lot of cause for hope as well.
You gonna tease us with talk of these fabled pix, or link to them?
