Im A Fool

Fool

The Fool finds freedom through unconventionality and a capacity to enjoy every moment. The Fool lightens us up, finds clever, innovative, and fun ways around obstacles–intellectual or physical. At worst, Fools are irresponsible. At best, Fools live lives of joy because they live fully every moment.

I found your wordpress!!! Even with the B in the way!! haha, I just copy/pasted your name in the link and erased the “B”. Earlier tonight I was talking about how some friends of mine from church had gone to Mexico for a mission trip, and when they came back they felt so spoiled. I think it’s wonderful that you’re going in the direction you’re going. It looks like your heart’s really reaching out to them. Everything happens for a reason and I’m glad you were meant to go there. I’m sure the bonds you make with the kids there are incredible and loving. Keep doing what you do! And I’m curious on your take on being the “Fool”.

- Well im glad you were able to find it… since the b was in place i am having to go back and re-enter all of my things because they got put on the wrong page. Yes i too think that we are very spoiled and everyone needs a reality check. So many people get mad on a day to day bases because the internet is slow or they get stopped at a red light. They never say how thankful they are that God has provided them with health, food, an education, a family, or just a roof over there heads. It is a shame that we take so many things for granted. As far as being a fool goes, I am not suprised. I think that it is describing how i am very acurate. I love living life to the fullest and always am taking a step back to make sure I am embracing the moment that I am in. I just think fool is the wrong name for it.

Would you be able to erase the “B” when clicking on the link to it? Sounds time consuming. The past few days, things would come up where it’d keep reminding me of the way you see things now that you’ve witnessed how fortunate we really are. Yesterday I was on one of the Indigo Buses and the bus driver stopped to talk to a friend of his for a few minutes and I was thinking to myself, “I wonder how many people on this bus are getting impatient with him right now.” When really, it’s nice that the bus driver can have a quick friendly chat with someone instead of just driving without interacting with anyone very much. People are always in such a rush, when really it’s okay to take a step back and slow down. We have things that others don’t have, so we oughta use what we have to help others out. The term ‘fool’ is misleading. I’m glad you embrace the moment you’re in instead of letting it just pass right on by. Sometimes I feel like I forget how to really live in the moment, to really love where I already am even though that’s what I keep telling myself to do.

Hi everyone! My name is Nikko Leitzel, I am from a small town in Pennsylvania called Ridgway. It is in the North Western part of the state. I wrestled and played football in highschool and did fairly well academically. I then signed with the University of Pittsburgh Johnstown for wrestling in 2007. I wrestled and attended school there for my first two years, but knee surgery ended my wrestling career last winter. During spring break of last year I went to Jamaica on a mission trip to a deaf school and it changed my life completely. After spending time with the children at the deaf school I realized that this is what I was suppost to be doing with my life, so now I am here at wonderful IUP since this is the only school in PA that offers EDHL.

I recently Traveled to Africa on a mission trip. I was there from December 27-January 18. I was in Bong County, which is in Liberia. It was such an amazing experience. The culture there is so entirely different than what we have in the U.S. that words can not even do it justice. It was a real eye opener to how lucky we are and how much we take for granted. Runing water is one I know that I take for granted very much. After having to take a shower with a bucket and dirty water for three weeks I began to realize how nice it is when you can simply turn a knob and use as much hot water as you want.

I like to think that I am a very easy person to get along. I am usauly the one that cracks a joke in a stone cold serious conversation, which has gotten me into trouble from time to time. Since I travel alot, I am really good at making new friends, even though they might not want me to be. I am independent and self motivated, I just don’t get motivated very easily. My worst trait is Procrastination. I am actually a part of the definition in Websters look it up.
