My greatest thrill in life is helping others; giving people hope. I once stopped a guy from killing himself. I once safely helped a girl out of an abusive relationship. I helped to give someone a warm place to sleep at night, via a new roof. I helped to give several people mobility, via several wheel chair ramps. I like to feed the homeless whenever I see them. I like to buy toys for little kids at Christmas, but who doesn’t do that. Okay, so my forte isn’t Rocket Science. But I’m still great in the maths and sciences. Chemistry, physics, accounting, probability and statistics, algebra and geometry. I made top marks in all of those classes. I made the highest exam grade in chemistry my teacher had ever seen. I often work out physics, statistics and algebra problems just for fun. I love accounting, God, I could do the books all day. I even like economics, literature, and grammar. My friends say I should be an English teacher; I’m always correcting their grammar. But my greatest thrill will always be bringing hope where there is despair.
Dear Frog-- What can I say but: I told you so? I don't mean to sound so harsh, but from the beginning, I figured I was destined to "fuck up," as I so put it. And, well, I fucked it all up.

I will change my very nature to help this person cross the stream. Oh, but dear Frog, I feel now that I cannot say that I wish I hadn't messed everything up. As wonderful as our times were together, I feel I would have stung you eventually. As you nurse your wounds, know I will always remember you. I hope that one day you can forgive me.
