HI ADAM- YOU PROBABLY HAVE HEARD THIS AND ARE PROBABLY TIRED OF HEARING IT.
BUT YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT OUR FATES ARE ALREADY WRITTEN AND EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON. MAYBE YOU WILL BE ONE GREAT ENGINEER AND INVENT SOMETHING TO HELP BPI OR PREVENT IT ALL TOGETHER. LIFE WOULD NOT GIVE US ANYTHING WE CAN'T HANDLE. TAKE CARE.
