Morale:
Benji Johns My name is Benji Johns. I am currently in my third year at the University of Houston and loving every minute of it. I have been involved with Dance On at UH since my freshman year. Although what Dance On stands for is enough to get anyone with a heart to want to be a part of it, I have even more reason to do everything I can to make it a success and ensure that other people don't miss out on the opportunity of a lifetime because of family tie to the hospital that we are supporting. My baby sister was born with many physical ailments that without the wonderful people at Texas Children's Hospital (TCH) would have killed her. The people at TCH helped saved my sisters life and I am forever grateful to them for it. By being a part of Dance On, I'm getting an opportunity to give back a little bit and be a small part of helping saving someone else's sibling. All the time I've been at UH, I've been very involved, but nothing I have done so far even compares to Dance On. The experience was amazing, but it was more than just an experience. I was able to be a part of opening other students eyes to the need that the kids at TCH have. Yes, we may not raise the millions of dollars that TCH needs--we're getting there--but we are doing the right thing and creating awareness of what a beautiful and wonderful thing that TCH is and does. Although this is selfless cause, I have gotten so much joy and fulfilment out being a part of it that I cannot appropriately describe it. Come join me in dancing FOR THE KIDS!! |
