1. What is your favourite television program of all time. Why?
Wednesday, when mom was baking for thanksgiving and I was having lunch, she was going through the channels when she stopped on my favorite tv show. I got all gitty and said "oh, I know this epasode. Want to know what happens?" it was fullhouse the first thanksgiving. It was so sad since it was the first thanksgiving without the mother. I had to bite my tongue a few times not to say the lines out loud before they did. At one point after I laughed at something I turned to my mom and said "they dont make tv shows like this any more" and she agreed.
I was happy that after that show was over, they had a second show on. Although it was the Christmas sow, I still enjoyed it and I neaarly bit my tongue off as I did let two lines slip from my lips. I watched that show so much growing up, I can still visualize it all these years later. It was such a great FAMILY show. My sister and I still quote from time to time randomly.. where it fits. Her favorite is "oh, so how do you roste a turkey?" It's amazing to see where they are all now. It is very sad to me what Jody Sweeten went through after the show as I had a crush on her and she's the reason I love the name Stephanie so much and I hope to have a daughter to name Stephanie someday.
2. Reflect on your life so far. What is the most important thing you feel you have done, either for yourself or others?
You want me to reflect on my 32.75 years of my life?
0-3 spent most of my time with my twin brother playing and learning.
4-13 basic math and english skills, YMCA summer camp, soccer, cubscouts, Hebrew school with a bar mitzvah. 14 eye oporations, leaving me with no vision.
14-18 learning how to adapt in a blacken world with all types of help around me in school for various things. My enjoyment for wrestling and playing vidio games tapering off without vision and moving into sports and music for my enjoyment.
19-22 college days brought a new way of living for me. I went from having help all around me to nothing. I had to figure out how I was going to take notes, order books on tape and study from my own notes. Although I had help to learn the 3 campuses by heart, it wasnt without a lot of confusion. I was still naive when it came to females. However I learned to live on my own with help from roomates and parents stopping by with food. I worked my ass off to earn a degree and a double minor, completing it in 4 years.
23-32:Living with my parents, trying to find a job, volunteering, going back to school to get two more degrees, battling reality of being blind in this very visual world and despite having education and experiance, not being able to find a job. It was also this time I got my own laptop computer and got on line which opened a whole new world for me. I learned more about sex, drugs and rockk N roll than I could ever imagine. I have also been extremely fortunate to have done as much traveling as I have. I have traveled from Montreal to Miami, new england, the tristate, to the mid-west with detroit cleveland and chicago. Down south to texas and west to beautiful san diego. I have seen our nation's capital and the beautiful city of baltimore. I guess I should include that amazing weekend where I feel the stars lined up perfectly and every T was cross, every I was dotted and my twin agreeing to go to woodstock 99 and to see my hero's induction to the baseball hall of fame... all the same weekend. I have been blessed thus far. I just can't imagine what will lay before me as my life takes a turn ... where ever-when ever- what ever that may be.
To answer the second part of the question. I am actually not sure I did anything standout-great for anyone. Maybe I just dont see what I have done. What people have done for me would be a different story. I would never have made it this far withouth my great family, assist in school, support in work, and the caring friends I have.

If you do this, you will pass
Unlike the kids of today
Having to watch out for themselves, doing things their own way
Games are not real enough
There is no imagination, it’s ruff
Family aren’t around, there is no physical touch
Both parents have to work
TV dinners, no salad, potatoes and pork
This is why the American’s youth are obese
Plus lack of exercise, get out there, run and play, or just jump and reach
Drugs are in the high school, sure
But in elementary? Do kids have to be searched at the door?
A gun, a knife, other types of weapons
Girls? What about respecting your body?
You don’t have to dress skimpy to be a hotty
Or be skinny to have a nice body
Keep trying, keep striving, Nothing comes easily
Don’t take the easy way, don’t give up, don’t quit, nothing is given freely
“I don't want to grow up, I'm a Toys' R Us kid
There's a million toys at Toys 'R Us that I can play with!
From bikes, to trains, to video games,
It's the biggest toy store there is! Gee whiz!
I don't want to grow, cause baby if I did,
I wouldn't be a Toys 'R Us kid!”
