Positive Attitude

I can't say I knew Craig very well, but I did live in the same apartments and shared mutual friends. As such I had the oportunity to hang out with him a time or two. The last time I did so was last summer when some friends decided to shoot off shot guns at the Provo gun range. I was amazed at Craig's attitude. He wasn't shy about having only one hand, and he didn't let it stop him from doing thing he would normally do. He picked up one of the guns and wouldn't put it down until he had figured out how to succesfully hold it and pull the trigger at the same time. Even that wasn't enough, he had to hit the targets. It was a small example, and I haven't seen him since, however the positivism he showed me will alwasy be an example to me as I face life's challanges.
