"We met on a camping trip. It was the week after junior year. I was the Vice President of the Ecology Club so I organized a trip to Patapsco State Park. We sat at the same picnic table for lunch, then we went hiking in the afternoon, and we ended up spending the night together. Well, I mean, we put our sleeping bags next to each other and held hands."

"I was about ten or eleven when I met my real father. We went to a wedding for a family member in Canada, and he was there. I was excited to meet him. I thought we’d go shopping, and go out to dinner, and hang out. But I guess he didn’t know I was coming. Because when he saw me, he didn’t even talk to me. He pulled my older brother aside, and told him that he didn’t want me there. When my brother told me, I walked up and hit my father in the face. I actually broke his nose. My grandfather had been giving me boxing lessons."

"There’s a spot in front of the Pennsylvania Hotel that they let us sleep at night as long as we clean up after ourselves. I was sitting there the other night, when a man walked by and handed me a backpack. My other backpack had just broken, and so it was exactly what I needed. I thought— ‘That’s a blessing.’ Good things happen to good people. You really do catch what you throw."
