Here he was twenty-nine, being honored for ten years of service as a volunteer 8 . Russ was 9 for organizing clothing for the homeless, teaching preschool children about fire safety, and for playing Santa Claus for very sick children by driving up in a fire truck.

Austin was just three years old when he died from an incurable disease. At that moment, I had to close my eyes again 12 a different set of tears ran down my cheeks. A silence 13 the room as Russ owed his volunteer award to Austin. He 14 his address by lifting the audience up with these words, “Austin taught me how to love. ”
I have never thought of this day. 15 , no one had ever thought that Russ would make 16 as the star of the football team, and he had never been voted“most likely to succeed”, but he 17 to be a true“star”in his community. Russ became a man of strong character 18 his unselfish service to others. With so many impairments, Russ now sees and acts 19 with his heart. His words and deeds inspire everyone who knows him.
