WHEN I WAS ABOUT 14 I JOINED A GROUP WITH UP WITH PEOPLE WITH MY GIRLFRIENDS. THEY HAD JOYOUS SONGS AND UPLIFTING MUSIC. WE SANG FOR SOME AUDIENCES IN THE LOCAL AREA. IT WAS A NATIONWIDE SINGING PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN AND TEENS. I HAD A DEEP VOICE EVER SINCE I WAS FIVE YEARS OLD.
WE SANG SONGS WITH MOVEMENT AT NIGHT. AND I THINK IT WENT FOR ABOUT AN HOURPER NIGHT. I REMEMBER OUR PARENTS PICKING US UP. THIS GROUP WAS STARTED IN 1965 DURING TURBULENT TIMES BY J. BELK, A MAN WHO WANTED PEOPLE TO SHARE A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE.
OVER THE YEARS THIS ORGANIZATION HAS BECOME KNOWN AS A TREMENDOUS FORCE IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS, EDUCATION, AND ENTERTAINMENT. AN ESTIMATED 22 MILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE HAVE BEEN GREATLY IMPACTED BY UP WITH PEOPLE. THEY HAVE ATTRACTED 21,000 YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN FROM MORE THAN 96 COUNTRIES TO DELIVER A MESSAGE OF HOPE AND GOODWILL TO PEOPLE. THESE YOUNG PEOPLE ALSO DO SERVICE PROJECTS IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES. THESE STUDENTS HAVE TO GO ON TO BECOME ENTHUSIASTIC LEADERS WITH THEIR TOWNS COUNTRIES AND THE WORLD.
