On July 24, 2008 what a day it was for Spin-Off. Along with Mike,
Santina, OutThere and Jahid, I met many of the worlds greatest young
adults and children competing in Piscataway, NJ at the Paralympics.
Organized by Mountainside, NJ - Children's Specialized Hospital and
Children's Specialized Hospital Foundation. I been in a few events that
I always get a new experience from, it was like a break of the
thermometer. Being around the worlds greatest cultures of children in a
situation we all shared as one just put me over the top. Wasn't a
feeling of fear of another human being, it was UNITY at it's highest
level and for this organized event to give everyone this feeling, it
was heaven on earth.

Sure it was a competition, but it was felt more of a loving day out
with the world. I felt no shame and to many of my physically challenged
peers, you know when you go out, sometime you feel a little embarrassed
or like you're being stared at. Not here, we were all family on that
field. I was sadden that I had to leave and may never see these young
athletes ever again. But we have the internet and I hope to contact
many of them again.
