That morning I woke up not knowing that, that day would be more or less like a Roller coaster ride. But first let me tell you about our project.
Operation story Cushion is probably the most important project that i have ever done. Making pillows for Kids whose families are being deployed in the Navy, Now thats what I call touching. And I think its important because I know that I am improving someone's life. Back to the so called “ Roller coaster Ride”. That day I came in feeling so proud of my work. I thought I would be done in 5 seconds flat. WRONG! I figured out that my recording was 3 min. and there was only 2 60 second recorders. So that just ruined my proud / great mood.
“I can’t give my pillow to my person today?” I shrieked in my mind. Never have I felt so downhearted in my life. I felt like I could cry, actually I did. I started coming up with all of these ideas in my mind, but none of them would have worked. It was finally, I could not give my pillow to her today.
Finally the time arrived, the time when all eyes were on me. I took a deep breath. “All I have to do is 2 speeches and then I would be over with it” I repeated in my mind. I took another breath and started to talk. The words flew out like a river. “This has been such a wonderful experience. Never have I felt so proud of my work, knowing that I have done something to make you feel better about your life. Although I could not give you the pillow today just know that every stitch was made with love.” And then it was over, I felt great!
I gave my letter to my person she was so thankful even though I could not give the pillow to her .And that’s the story of the “ Roller coaster Ride”
The End
