24 hours and 2 Miracles

Hello everyone I am super happy about how the Pandamodium turned out. I was able to successfully do all 24 hours of the Pandamodium again, but completely different from last time. This time I completed the task with two very amazing people; Mr. Daniel Sollinger and Sihing Sarah Vanderham.

    For my second 24 hour experiences this one I had a lot of fun and experience brand new things. I was the second one after that brave little kid to be dunked. I was definitely afraid of the cold water. I admit I really suck with cold water, but I love cold weather. I had a lot of fun being on the dunk tank, except when Sifu Brinker was sniping me (I actually still had a lot of fun then too)  :) .
    I was very anxious for the lion dance; that me and Sollinger volunteered for. I was going through my mind what needed to be done and what I had to do, because I wanted to put on the best show possible. Once it became time to finally do the lion dance, my tail was frozen to the bone and both of my knees were swelling. I can say we were ready; Dan managed to warm up a bit more before we started and I managed to get the swelling in my knees down just a bit before the dance. I would have to say the dance we performed was extraordinary chaos. That day we developed new ways of performing the lion dance. Also we made history of throwing lettuce onto the first ever veggie burger ever, thanks to Lindsay Gibbons great catching. I had so much fun. I was able to catch my second wind near the last 6 to 8 hours of the day and finished strong.
   
    One of the greatest things I got out of that experience was seeing Mr. Daniel Sollinger and Sihing Sarah Vanderham conquer the 24hr challenge I put out there. Dan was an energy beast; he was always moving, completed insane amount of push ups and sit ups, and he performed a one man demo show at 11:45 P. M. I was truly amazed and impress at his amazing can-do attitude.
   Sihing Sarah Vaderham also blew me away. She is the youngest ever to complete all 24 hours in the Pandamodium. I almost lost her in the first hour of the Pandamodium day; do to something in her hip. She took appropriate action stopped and iced her injury and was able to continue. She also joined Dan Sollinger in the crazy amount of push ups and sit ups; quite impressive.
   I have to say I am the most happiest about how the experience that Mr. Daniel Sollinger and Sihing Sarah Vanderham had. They both saw a door of opportunity and bolted right through. I asked both of them if they would do all 24 hours again; without a second thought they both said yes. I was so happy when I heard this I knew what I wanted them to get out of that 24 hour day was accomplished.After seeing what they went through and they saw the value of what I wanted them to get I felt a sense of pride I can't stop saying in how proud I am of them and how truly happy they made me feel.
    If you want to know what they got after the 24 hours then I would ask them, because only they will know, and if anyone ever want to try it next year I assure you will get something out of it yourself, maybe not what they got, but something of your very own that will change you.
    So thank you Mr. Daniel Sollinger and Sihing Sarah Vanderham for helping me grow as a person and becoming 2 miracles in my ever changing life.
      As always everyone remember to stay extraordinary.
