PFO for me was something that my sister would foolishly get up on a Saturday morning and do for 2 hours, or tats at least what I thought it was. I never really knew much about PFO other than that a lot of my friends were involved and that whenever I saw Jen she’d be like “Michael, are you doing PFO next year”. My response was always maybe I’m not sure yet, which really meant no. Then I went to the check presentation of that year and I could literally feel the emotions on the stage and that it was more than just teens helping kids w/ disabilities…it was about teens helping themselves and giving other teens friendships that would last. By the time the check presentation was over with tears rolling down my face. I told myself that I have to do this, that anything that held that much emotion for all those people truly must be something special.
