  When I first learned to jump, I thought I wasn't really good. I didn't like it that much. Then when I saw Mark, I heard what he said. He said, "Just keep on tryin'". I listened to him and now I made it as far as I could... to the hour power team, and I give a lot of that credit to him, because he never lost hope in people and never lost hope in himself.
