Life is either a daring adventure or it is nothing

In order to successfully graduate from NCCC I have to complete 1700 service hours. Most of the hours will be through NCCC with my team but 80 of those hours need to be Independent service hours. So I started working on those hours this past Saturday. We arrived at the tallest building in Sacramento at 6am and we helped set up for a benefit race put on by the Lung association. The race is a timed even where groups of runners set out to run up all 35 floors of the building. It was crazy there were old people and young people, athletes that ran it and even little kids who walked the whole thing. One guy ran it in 3 minutes and 47 seconds!!! that is 10 flights of stairs a minute! Another guy ran it 7 times! I had a wicked sweet job. I stood on the roof, the view was amazing. It was a helicopter landing pad with no walls and I could see everything! It blew me away (quite literally seeing that the wind was crazy). I just cheered people as they came to an end and passed out water.
