I think I’m one of those people who was affected, really, truly, by everybody that I met, in a very magical kind of way, you know. I feel a bit like the golden child. But you only know that when you look back, and see the people who touched you and how friends, and camp counselors, and people who denied your humanity, that you overcame, you know. All those people who said you couldn’t, and you shouldn’t, and you won’t, and you will never — and you did. All those people affected me, and went into making me the sum total of what I became, and what I’ve become.
