The movie that always brings tears: Patch Adams - When the girl dies (of course) but especially when all the kids who he has helped show up at his hearing and put on the "clown" noses. It gets me every time!! There's just something about knowing you made a difference and had an impact on people. I'm almost tearing up now...
Favorite thing to do in Chattanooga: Go downtown with Danny and Micah and eat at one of our favorite places (Blue Plate, Blue Water, Good Dog, Lupis, Aretha Frankenstein's, etc.), go to Blue Skies, and just walk around and hang out.
What would be the #1 thing learned from being on a deserted island for a year: Assuming I would survive a year without plumbing and air conditioning (which is unlikely)...I would probably say how to find/catch/grow and cook food

The movie that always brings tears: John Q. and Stepmom equally make me cry at the end of them. i guess it is the relationship between a parent and child that tears me up...i cry like a baby haha. John Q.=dad willing to take his own life just so his son can have his heart and live on. and Stepmom=at christmas when she gives them their gifts and the boy gets a cape and the quilt made with pictures for the daughter....i am tearing up right now thinking about it
Favorite thing to do in Chattanooga: chattanooga=going downtown without a plan but with a group of friends and seeing where life takes us! also having coffee and just talking with people about life
What would be the #1 thing learned from being on a deserted island for a year: i would learn to be still and really listen instead of letting the business of life distract me. regain my appreciation for the simple things in life that really matter. and i agree with jessica-in that situation you really do come to a realization that God is all you need.
What's the best thing about being a part of NU
