Life-Changing Event

"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. We looked all around nearby. All of my friends worked together with the police department to just walk the neighborhood to help find this child. I mean, we were just kids, but we wanted to have a purpose, and we wanted to help people. 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 just walking through a parking lot, we heard calling out for help, and we found the child. The exhilaration you get when you actually save someone is remarkable, and it left an impression on my life, like this is really cool, helping people. That's where my life has really moved forward, and I haven't regretted it at all. I get huge excitement out of it every day. I never even thought of that whole story until I got your list of questions. I said, wait a minute, and it all came back. I was 15, 16 years old, and here I am, 68 years old, and I hadn't ever thought of that. Your questions really brought back some good memories for me."
