After the accident I then realized what I said to myself and quickly changed my tone. “Why me,” I realized was the least sensible thing to say. I discovered that I learned a lot from t

Barry said, “If I could change anything in the future, I would change everything.” He does not want there to be names of countries or border markers. There will be only one world working together. It would be a world of no prejudices or racism. We would all be the same. We would be earthlings and not Americans or Afghans. We could work together to solve the energy crisis; we could also work together to try and cure diseases like AIDS and Cancer. Barry says, “If we had no distinctions on country and race, what would set us apart from anyone else in the world?” Who then would be able to say that they have it any worse than anyone else if we all are in the same boat?

The worst memory that Barry ever had was when his had to watch his youngest brother die of disease. His brother’s name was Randy. Randy was your “man’s-man” kind of guy. He had lots of girlfriends and was really cool. “I constantly worried about him because alcoholism runs in my family,” says Barry. He drank a lot and was causing everyone to wonder if he may be becoming an alcoholic. In time he became very ill. One day, Barry got a call to come over and help his brother because he was extremely bad. He got there as the paramedics were taking him out of the house. Barry thought that he’d go and see what happened in the house, and he ended up having to throw away a full five-gallon bucket of the blood Randy had coughed up. The only thing that would have saved Randy was a spleen operation. The problem was that Randy lost his spleen in a motorcycle accident. This meant that he was going to die. At first it was really hard for Randy to accept, but then a peace came over him. “This comforted me.” says Barry, “It was the same relief we all came to accept when mom died.” It was comforting for him to know that Randy made peace with death before it took him, but it was very hard for him to watch his little brother die and knew he could not do anything about it.

hat situation and immediately the only person that came to mind when I thought about it was my grandfather, Barry Heiserman. “I never really considered any of my experiences to be bad because if you learn something from them how could they be bad?” Of all the people in my life, he has always believed and taught me that any situation at all, be it good or bad, is a wonderful experience. There were many good things my grandfather remembers about his past.

“Fight! Fight!” screamed all of children as Barry and a local classmate roll on the ground. It was his first fight and he lost. “I gave up. It was later than it should have been, but I gave up none the less.” After he lost he walked h
