In 2015, it’s getting harder and harder for a lot of us to balance our work and personal lives. Spending time with friends, therefore, can be difficult when there is so much going on in life.</div>

<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
But your friends are important, and it’s thus important that you work hard at setting some time aside to see them.</div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
But then, perhaps by now the bigger problem has become finding something fun to do with your friends. Maybe you’ve exhausted the usual stuff, such as going to a bar before hitting the clubs. Maybe you’re looking to do something different with them to keep things interesting. If so, let’s take a look at 9 fun things you can do with your friends.</div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Go Volunteering Together</i></b></div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Volunteering with your friends is certainly something different, but as well as being fun it’s also hugely rewarding. All you need to do is find a local homeless centre or senior cenfun things to do with friendstre, and head over there with your friends to help out.</div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Volunteering with your friends makes you all feel good, but it also helps each one of you to learn more about one another. You will have new respect for each other, and you might talk about things that had previously been out of bounds. You’ll also feel so satisfied at helping others that you might decide to do it all again.</div>

You’ve probably already played video games with your friends, but maybe you’ve killed enough bad guys on Halo for one year. So why not do games old school-style by dusting off the board games?</div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
There are <i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">lots </i>of board games available for you to play, and many of them are really fun. You can choose intellectually challenging games, such as Scrabble, or you can choose physical games that are just a darn good laugh, such as Twister. Whatever you choose, you should pair off into teams and pit friends against friends. The losers will, of course, have to perform a forfeit.</div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Have A Movie Marathon</i></b></div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Everyone loves movies, but rather than spending your money at the cinema on a new film that all of you might dislike, why not have a movie marathon at your place?</div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Ask each friend to bring their favourite film, or a film they know none of you have seen before; then, prepare the snacks and drinks and you’re away!</div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Or, you could simply log into your Netflix account and hunt for movies off there or settle for box sets. Either way, you’re guaranteed a fun night.</div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Hit A Dating Site</i></b></div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Another one of fun things to do with friends is to hit a dating site together. Okay, this only works for the single friends.</div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; float: none; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin: 25px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline; z-index: 954;">
</div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
But if y’all are single, a really fun thing to do is to hit the online dating site scene for the evening. You should each create profiles for each other, and then try to find each other a date! It’s super fun, especially if one of you managers to hook a Johnny Depp look-a-like.</div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Actually, that’s only fun for the one who managed to hook him. Everyone else just hates you.</div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Play Hide And Seek In The Park</i></b></div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Okay, so you’re an adult now. But, really, there’s no rule that says you can’t play hide and seek just because you’ve “grown up”.</div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
An adult game of hide and seek in the park is probably the first time any<i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </i>of you have played it since you were kids, which is why each and every one of your friends’ eyes will light up at the mere suggestion.</div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Come on,” the most enthusiastic friend will say. “It’s not like we play it every week.”</div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
You’ll have a whale of a time as you indulge in one of your favourite childhood memories, and you can even get kids on your side by making sure they keep quiet about your location. And to help you feel adult, you should introduce a few adult forfeits for the losers.</div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Go To A Casino</i></b></div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Going to a casino is arguably more adult than hide and seek, so if playing games in a public park is a little beyond you, why not rock up to the casino with your group of friends?</div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The thing is, though, that casino’s are only really fun if you’re prepared to spend a bit of money and aren’t too worried about losing. If you turn up to a casino with $20 and <i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">really </i>don’t want to lose a cent of it, you’re not going to have any fun.</div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
So be prepared to go wild with abandon. Play for the high stakes, go all out at the blackjack table, and win some dough.</div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Then get married.</div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Okay, we’re just kidding. This isn’t Vegas.</div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Go Camping Together</i></b></div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Camping is another one of fun things to do with friends. Someone brings the guitar, someone brings the drinks, someone brings the food, while someone else brings the fishing rods. And that’s pretty much all you need to have one heck of a time around a midnight campfire. Just you, your friends, some songs to sing along to, and some delicious food.</div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you choose to camp in a really remote place, you can also have a bit of fun telling scary stories too. Remember the one about Bigfoot? And how he hasn’t been caught yet? And how there was a sighting of him RIGHT HERE?</div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Have A BBQ</i></b></div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If it’s spring, summer, or autumn, you should have a BBQ (if you are a vegetarian, then you can grill fruits and veggies). Barbecue’s are a great way of bringing people together for some good food and drink, as well as some laughs and catching-up. They take you away from the usual meet-up places, such as pubs and coffee shops, and give you all a chance to relax in each others’ company and have some fun.</div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Later on in the evening, you can take things indoors and whip out the board games or movies.</div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Play A Sport In The Park</i></b></div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Sports were often the number 1 thing we looked forward to playing when we were kids (in the summer anyway), so why not rekindle your fondness for team sports by organising a sports day down the park with your friends?</div>
<div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
You could all play basketball, baseball, soccer or netball; whatever you choose! It doesn’t even matter whether you’re good or bad; you’ve just got to enjoy spending time with your friends and having a laugh.</div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><b>Memory </b><br /><br />When we first learn something, information is processed into the brain to form a neural trace. This trace first enters your sensory memory, and then, if you're paying attention, to your Short Term Memory, or STM. If you keep working to process the information and adapt it correctly it then moves to your Long Term Memory, or LTM. The information processed into your LTM is more or less permanent; with occasional reviewing you will not forget it. The trick is to adapt the information you really need into your LTM as quickly as possible. Your STM has a small capacity and a short duration; you may learn something very quickly, but in 24 hours you will lose 80% of that information. The STM is fast and easily accessed, the LTM is slower but larger.<br /><br /><b>Repetition</b><br /><br />The key to learning something well is repetition; the more times you go over the material the better chance you have of storing it permanently. Before you begin this process, however, it makes sense that you determine the type of learner you are. There are three basic types of learning: Visual, Auditory and Haptic. Most of us are, in fact, some combination of the three, but chances are one style will suit us more than the other two. Take some time to look over the types and figure out which category best describes your method of learning. Learning Types Visual Learners:<br /><br />Visual learners study best when the material is graphic, ie. charts, tables, maps, etc. When in class, visual people should look at the professors when they are speaking, participate in class discussions and take detailed notes during lectures. When studying, study alone in a quiet place and try to transcribe your material on paper. When possible make drawings, graphs or tables of complex abstract ideas and work alone. Visual learners often have trouble working while having a dialogue, even if the dialogue directly pertains to the subject matter.<br /><br /><b>Auditory Learners:</b><br /><br />Auditory people work best when they can hear the material. Read aloud, go over your notes and talk to yourself about the important points. Before reading, set a purpose and verbalize it, after you've finished be sure to summarize out loud what you just read. Speak your ideas into a tape machine as if you were having a conversation with someone, if you can, talk to your friends about the material. Because Auditory learners sometimes have trouble keeping columns aligned, try doing math computations by hand, on graph paper.<br /><br /><b>Haptic Learners:</b><br /><br />Haptic learners are the most maligned division; they are the people that can't sit still. Haptics have to pace around the room, they must have music or a television playing in the background and are almost constantly finding themselves distracted. Despite what parents and teachers have been saying to the contrary, Haptic learning is just as effective as the other two, more traditional, types. Instead of fighting against your nature, adapt to it and find a method that really works. Make studying more physical; work at a standing desk, pace around the room, do reading while on an exercise bike, chew gum. Try to use color when you can; highlight your readings, read with a filtered light, put posters and bright colors around your desk. Haptic people should vary their activities, if you feel frustrated or 'clogged up' do something different for a few minutes. Try and keep a list of distractions as they come to you; once you write them down, they won't bother your concentration as much. If you want to, play music in the background at whatever volume you choose to. When reading, try skimming over the chapter to get a solid basic meaning before you really dig in. Try to visualize complex projects from start to finish before you begin them. Visualization is a useful tool for Haptic people, it helps you keep a positive, productive outlook on the task at hand.<br /><br /><b>SQ3R</b><br /><br />The SQ3R method is the reading and studying system preferred by many educators. Reading research indicates that it is an extremely effective method for both comprehension and memory retention. It's effective because it is a system of active reader involvement.<br /><br /><b>Step 1.</b> "S"= Survey Before you actually read a chapter, or go over a particular section of notes, take five minutes to survey the material. Briefly check headings and subheadings in order to understand the author's organizational pattern of ideas to be discussed. Scan all visual material. Read introductory and summary paragraphs. This preview will enable you to anticipate what the chapter is about.<br /><br /><b>Step 2. </b>"Q"= Question Create interest in the material by asking: What are the main points of the chapter? As you read, keep the question in mind and figure out the most important points. It gives you a clearly defined purpose for reading, and helps you maintain interest in the material.<br /><br /><b>Step 3.</b> "R"= Read Read the chapter actively for meaning. Go through the paragraph before underlining, then underline key words and phrases to help you recall the main points. Be selective, you don't want to highlight non-important points or miss anything that can help your comprehension. Summarize main concepts in your own words in the margins. The more active you are in the reading process, the more you will retain.<br /><br /><b>Step 4.</b> "R"= Recite After every few pages, close your book and recite aloud the main points to the questions you posed in step 2. Try to recall basic details as to the author's intent by putting them in your own words. Verify your answer by checking the text. If you can't remember the text, read through it again. If you don't get it now, you won't remember it for a test. Take as much time as you need to answer your questions. Don't be frustrated, this takes more time but the information will be clearer in your mind.<br /><br /><b>Step 5.</b> "R"= Review Finally, review the chapter every so often to fix the material in your mind. Keep rereading your margin notes and underlinings. Verbalize the sequence of main ideas and supporting facts to aid retention. Numerous reviews are a lot more effective than one cramming session the night before an exam. Review once right after you've finished reading and then every couple of days. The SQ3R is time consuming at first, expect it to take ten to fifteen percent longer to read a given chapter when you first begin. Research indicates a 70%% increase in retention after two months of using the system and, eventually, a reduction in time spent preparing for exams.<br /><br /><b>Note Taking Techniques</b><br /><br />The most comprehensive note taking systems require attention on your part. You must be alert enough in class to take legible, meaningful notes. You can't rely on "writing everything down" because a lot of information in a given lecture won't help you actually learn the material. If you have problems determining the specific relevant points in a particular class, you can always ask the professor to clarify them for you. The 2-6 Method The 2-6 refers to the way you divide the space on your notepaper. Make two columns, using the red line on the left of the page as your border. Then, when you take notes in class, use the 6 column for the notes and the smaller 2 column on the left as a highlighting system. Write main headings and important points on the left, including material you think you will be tested on. When you're finished, you should have a comprehensive page of information that you can quickly scan for important points. Finally If you have any questions or need more help, stop by and talk to one of our counselors. Studying is 99%% perspiration; if you give it a real, concentrated effort over the course of a semester you will see an improvement. Your academic success is entirely up to you.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">In order to excel in college, you must first learn how to study properly. Contrary to historical opinion, there are many effective ways to learn information; it is a question of figuring out what works for you. What type of studying best suits you? What time of day are you most efficient? What is the proper environment for you to study in? Before you can answer these questions, you have to do a little research. It takes an effort but the rewards are more than worth it.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">By George Mason University</i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Like any good mother, when Karen found out that another baby was on the way, she did what she could to help her 3-year-old son, Michael, prepare for a new sibling.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The new baby was going be a girl, and day after day, night after night, Michael sang to his sister in Mommy’s tummy. He was building a bond of love with his little sister before he even met her.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The pregnancy progressed normally for Karen, an active member of the the Creek United Methodist Church in Morristown, Tennessee, USA.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">In time, the labor pains came. Soon it was every five minutes, every three, every minute. But serious complications arose during delivery and Karen found herself in hours of labor.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Finally, after a long struggle, Michael’s little sister was born. But she was in very serious condition. With a siren howling in the night, the ambulance rushed the infant to the neonatal intensive care unit at St. Mary’s Hospital, Knoxville, Tennessee.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The days inched by. The little girl got worse. The pediatrician had to tell the parents there was very little hope. Be prepared for the worst. Karen and her husband contacted a local cemetery about a burial plot. They had fixed up a special room in their house for their new baby they found themselves having to plan for a funeral.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Michael, however, kept begging his parents to let him see his sister. “I want to sing to her,” he kept saying.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Week two in intensive care looked as if a funeral would come before the week was over. Michael kept nagging about singing to his sister, but kids are never allowed in Intensive Care.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Karen decided to take Michael whether they liked it or not. If he didn’t see his sister right then, he may never see her alive. She dressed him in an oversized scrub suit and marched him into ICU. He looked like a walking laundry basket.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The head nurse recognized him as a child and bellowed, “Get that kid out of here now. No children are allowed.”</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The mother rose up strong in Karen and the usually mild-mannered lady glared steel-eyed right into the head nurse’s eyes, her lips a firm line, “He is not leaving until he sings to his sister.”</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Then Karen towed Michael to his sister’s bedside. He gazed at the tiny infant losing the battle to live. After a moment, he began tossing. In the pure-hearted voice of a 3-year-old, Michael sang:</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><em style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray.”</em><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Instantly the baby girl seemed to respond. The pulse rate began to calm down and became steady.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">“Keep on singing, Michael,” encouraged Karen with tears in her eyes.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><em style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">“You never know, dear, how much I love you, please don’t take my sunshine away.”</em><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">As Michael sang to his sister, the baby’s ragged, strained breathing became as smooth as a kitten’s purr. “Keep on singing, sweetheart.”</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><em style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">“The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I held you in my arms”. </em><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Michael’s little sister began to relax as rest, healing rest, seemed to sweep over her. “Keep singing, Michael.” Tears had now conquered the face of the bossy head nurse. Karen glowed.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><em style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. Please don’t take my sunshine away…”</em><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The next day,…the very next day…the little girl was well enough to go home.</span></span><br />
