Life Altering Event

I discovered my purpose years ago when I was a teenager. I was with a group of friends in the middle of a huge snowstorm and one of our neighbors was missing her child and looked all around nearby. It was really before kidnappings were a big thing. But all of my friends worked together with the police department to just walk the neighborhood to help find this child. And we were just kids, but we wanted to contribute and help any way we could. We actually found the child in a parking lot where somebody had removed a manhole cover. The child was in the manhole, covered with snow and it just happened that we'd been walking through a parking lot, and we heard him calling out for help. And the exhilaration you get when you actually save someone is remarkable. It left a remarkable impression on my life, that it's really cool to help people. That's where my life has really moved forward. And I have never regretted it at all. I get a huge excitement out of it every day.
