This is the group of high school sophomores from across central PA for whom I was counselor at the 1994 Hugh O'Brian Youth Foundation Leadership Seminar, held that year at Millersville University. (Somehow, even though I was seven years older, they all seemed bigger than me ... maybe they were all standing on chairs? Or was this the year where we stopped standing on chairs due to liability concerns?)
For those of you who don't know, I represented my high school back in '87, and it was a great way to give back for a few years, as the experience for me as a participant was a seminal one in my personal development, providing me with a sense of self-esteem that I desperately needed and a growing confidence about my individuality that started me on my path toward my freedom two years later.
It was a truly OUTSTANDING time.
