Who or what inspires you: My best friend Carrie inspires me. She was
diagnosed HIV positive when she was in High school. Just recently it turned
into AIDS. She is the most amazing person I have ever met. Her parents were
HIV positive and gave her this debilitating disease, but she is still so
positive about it. She wants to make a difference is peoples lives. Right
now she is very sick and at the end of her life here on earth, but it still
trying to help people understand more about what HIV/AIDS really is and how to find a cure for it. Keep fighting Carrie.

hike the Grand Canyon, go to Yellow Stone National Park, travel the world,
and find a cure for AIDS. There are many more things, but these are just a
few.
