It's a Roller Coaster Ride

Life can sometimes be this roller coaster of emotions. The ups, the downs, the twists, the turns ... it's rather remarkable that we can actually make it back to the docking point.

As children, I don't think we ever realize what we're getting ourselves into. As adults, I don't think we ever get used to the ride.

I guess, all we can do is go with the ups and downs ... and be the people that we know we should be ... Be genuine, be caring, be compassionate, be people of character and people who love first and foremost. Then, I think the roller coaster ride gets just a little easier.

HERO Youth Ambassadors to Embark on Journey of a Lifetime!

You might remember a few months ago, I wrote a post about the HERO Youth Ambassador Program. If not, you can read it here: http://untitledentityunveiled.blogspot.com/2008/02/become-hero-youth-ambassador.html.

The HERO Youth Ambassadors Program selects a number of teens from across the U.S. and Canada to travel to Africa to work on Protecting Futures, a program by Tampax and Always to help girls stay in school during menstruation.

For more info about the program, check out: http://www.protectingfutures.com/.

I was just informed that the youth ambassadors for 2008 have been chosen!

Among the students chosen, only one Canadian was selected, Natasha Clark, who is a native of Coldstream, BC.

Natasha’s active involvement at school and work with children in her community illustrates her passionate commitment to helping others. She is scheduled to depart on June 27th and is currently working to raise $5,000 to help fund her mission to Africa.

To learn more about Natasha and the other 2008 Youth Ambassadors, or to help support Natasha’s fundraising goal, visit: http://www.heroaction.org/site/c.gpIPKZOAJoG/b.3750887/ to learn more!

It will be a journey of a lifetime in which they will never forget! Support them today!
