Passion is shown by both Mortenson in "Three Cups of Tea" written by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin, and Emma who lives at the Everett Sunrise View Retirement Villa & Convalescent Center. "It had taken Morten son more than three years, years of false steps, failures, and delays, to drive the Korphe School from promise to completion" (David Relin page 191). Warmth running through your veins of a completed project that benefits people besides yourself takes a passionate person to represent. As I have spent my time with the ladies at Sunrise View Retirement Villa, Emma earns a special place in my heart. Filled with joy, Emma loves being part of the competitive games played by the residents. She spends her free time assisting with the less unfortunate residence. Emma contacted adult chicken pox four years ago and was told she would never be able to function completely with speech and motor skills again. Having a heart full of passion she took on the challenge and proved she would be able to be as she once was. During her rehabilitation she was part of the cared for group needing additional assistance. Now fully recovered she volunteers her time to spend with her old friends she made through the rough times. She is very passionate about all of them and seeing them through their rough times. Emma shows me a mirror image of Mortensons passion and how it drives them both to do good to others.
