760 words
There are some people out there who are genuinely
great people. Sometimes it is easier for me to
pick out the negative in others. It was impossible
for me to do that when I met Brendon John Collins.
He was beaming with beautiful qualities. After a
few days I came to adore just how silly, loving,
and ambitious he is. For a grown man Brendon is

crack up when they found the all too familiar
post-it notes Brendon left laying around.
