As the last of us scrambled to finish stuffing goodie-bags and packets,
a thought occurred to me. It is one not common in an eleven-year-old's
mind. I started thinking of the reason these great athletes and donor
families are here. I thought to my self, "all of the people here,
young and old alike are here because of the generosity and selflessness
of others."
On a lighter note, I would like to congratulate all of the wonderful
staff and volunteers. Without your help and support none of these great
athletes would be here. I would also like to thank the living donors,
and donor families. You, especially, know the true meaning of sacrifice.
While this is my first Transplant Games, I feel like I have been here
many times. And I also feel that these games are turning out to be quite
interesting and will enjoy watching them continue.
