My bestest friend; Miss Abigail Moore introduced me to PFO. I knew a couple of people when I joined, from CTC OnStage. I was ecstatic! These were the people that I had admired for years. Looking back, they were all very different, but they shared one magnetic quality; they were all cheerfully inclusive. It was the best feeling to know that I could be a part of something with the people that I had always looked up to!
It’s comforting to know, when you look at the faces around you, that these are the people that will catch you when you fall, and set you back on your feet with a smile on your face. I can laugh with them, and have fun! Singing, rolling on the floor, breaking down doors, and living moment by moment.
But PFO is not just about spending time with your friends; it’s about creating change. I think the fact that I am making a difference in someone’s life is one of the most important things that I will get out of PFO!
For some people life is a concrete path, and they leave no trace on it. For others it’s made of sand and you can turn around and see the footprints you left behind.
