The One-Minute Hero

"The One Minute Hero" is the story of how I became torn between saving the life of Jason, whom I met only once, and guaranteeing my own life. I was able to discover the value of life through the eyes of a stranger. Amidst this difficult decision my eight-year-old daughter stepped in and inspired me to be stronger and more compassionate than I thought was possible. Through my efforts to save Jason I was able to battle tragedy in my own life. It would take everything within me to overcome the abyss of my own mind. The light that I saw in Jason and his family would finally guide me out of that abyss and righted my ship. Though it appeared that our paths crossed for me to save him, Jason ended up saving me. This is the story of how I fought through the struggles of life, as well as how I had to change my perspective through the process. In doing this, the way I viewed the world was forever changed. I invite you to traverse through all of these random paths with me, and see how I became "The One Minute Hero". I believe these paths may not have been random at all, but how I was put on a collision course to share this story with you.
