Extreme Makeover: Home Edition has got to be one of the only TV shows out there worth watching. It shows dedicated people with hearts of gold putting the brakes on their own lives and busting their backs to help those in need. It's made a huge difference in my life just by watching it, along with millions of other people around the world.
For those of you who think it's all just "TV Magic", you really don't have the right to say that unless you've seen it in real life. I've seen it, and it's the most amazing thing I've ever seen. About a month ago, I drove half-way across the state of Minnesota six times and volunteered to help with the Swenson-Lee Family's house, and it was well worth it. The families they pick are truly deserving, and the reason they build these houses as big as they do is because they want to make it as good as they possibly can. They're working on filming the segments for the show and working on projects for the house. They've earned a lot of respect, and they truly deserve it.
This show is very symbolic of what being an American is all about. It reminds us all that the United states (Emphasis on the word UNITED), we all pitch in to help one another and help one another out. It Rocks!
I heard this in a movie once. There's a train line in Europe that connects Vienna, Austria and Venice, Italy and it runs through a very steep area of the Alps. Those tracks were built long before there was a train that could get up and over those mountains. They built it anyway. They knew one day the train would come. And it did.
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is like the train tracks, and these families that receive the new houses are like the trains. They're all headed towards better futures because of what the show has done for them. Its proof that incredibly good things can happen when you work hard to make them happen, or at least try.
