The only thing that I can think of that I accomplished other than graduating from high school is, I was a member of the ecology club and we planted a lot of trees and cleaned up a lot of trash. So I hope that I did some good.

All the above comments put me to shame, PCN.

I was a bad kid and even when I finally turned it around, I was still pretty bad. In fact, I’m still fairly bad but I hide it better.

Best of luck to the entries.

I tried out for the boys soccer team in high school to make a stronger case to get a girls team (there was not girls team). My friend and I made the team and we got the girls team.

Wow, my exploits really pale against the two above. I stood up and packed peanuts in plastic bags for a whole day to raise money for the poor. Went caroling at Christmas time at the nursing homes. Works for years in Junior Red Cross, making items for nursing homes. Also worked with a special chldren group with children with autism, Down’s syndrome and brain injured.
Also babysat for years and interacted with a sweet boy who was brain injured and paralyzed from a car accident.

My dad would not have allowed anything as adventurous as Linda’s experiences. I think I was “sheltered from the outside world” at the time of my life.

Jann, I think it was more a case of 19-year-old fools rush in… I would hope I’d still do it, though, even though I know better now.

Wow, can’t top Linda’s experience! My big moment was organizing a fund raiser from soup to nuts. I have continued that process as an adult and my children followed in my footsteps.

The books sound terrific! I love Coben’s thrillers.

When I was nineteen, I worked as a juvenile justice officer. Got the job with fake ID. One night, I rescued a young girl, who’d gone home to her prostitute mother and called me from the bathroom where she’d locked herself when one of her mother’s johns went after her. Police wouldn’t go to the projects where she was on a weekend night–too dangerous. I got a friend to take me. I didn’t drive, and with the great help of an old man who kept the drunks and druggies off me, I got the girl safely out.
