"When someone saves your life and gives you life, there's gratitude, humility; there's a time you've been so blessed you realize you've been given another chance at life that maybe you did or didn't deserve." - Pat Summerall

I am grateful that I take a stand for something I believe in. I used to be quiet and not speak when a controversial subject came up. I now express my opinion quietly but with conviction. I don't feel that emotions should take over and a subject should turn into a yelling match. We all have feelings that make us who we are and we should be treated with respect. When I express my opinion I know it helps me to be a stronger person .
