I'm going to add some info to LIFE IS TOO SHORT...
I posted a few days agao about Sarah Burke (1982-2012)...the freestyle skier who passed away after a horrific crash on a half-pipe in SLC. She was a pioneer in her sport and I pioneer for women's athletics in general. The sadness is that she was not even to her thirtieth birthday and had already become that person that young extreme athletes especially little girls look to. She also will not even get to compete once in the event that she fought so hard to get included in the Olympics in Sochi. OH CANADA.
Joe-Pa 1929-2012 another pioneer in the sports world. His legacy is tarnished to some, but to me it will live on forever in tact. This is a man who has positively impacted the lives of hundred...i repeat hundreds of young men. He not only affected those men but also students who attended the university through his example and his philanthropic endeavors. Did he make a mistake in doing the smallest amount possible...yes, but hindsight is 20/20 right. WE ARE PENN STATE.
Life is too short to not leave it in a better state than you found it. People always say that but when it comes down to it, you want people to think "Gone to Soon" or "WOW, what a great person...they will be missed."
I know that my life has mattered already to someone. Now the goal is to make people REALLY remember me in their lives and say ...I MADE AN IMPACT at the end of the day.
