My college professor once asked the students in our english class, "If you had one message to put inside a bottle and send it out to sea, what would the message say?" Many years have passed since this assignment, but I have thought about that bottle floating out to sea on many occasions. I believe today my message would read something like this:
“I am humbled at the wonderful experiences I have encountered on this amazing journey. I marvel at the magnificent inventions throughout the centuries that continue to improved our lives, and amazed at the wisdom handed down from generation to generation. When I was younger, I believed that everyone had a grave responsibility to save our planet, but as I got older, I realized to do that successfully, we must earnestly strive to save each other.” Linda Sumner Urza, One fine day
