through High School into College

by Charlie Cannon

Biking has been one of the rare things that is capable of making me actually want to get up and live everyday.  Biking actually makes me feel like I am living, rather than another person existing on the planet.  It has made me value the life that I have so much, and even though there’s millions of things that I would change about the world, at least I have one thing that I feel makes me want to live.  One thing that gives me the willpower to try to change what I desire to, and make the world a place that everyone wants to live in, rather than exist.
