Friendship factor '' 0 ne thing Harding has taught me," he said thoughtfully, " is to never assume that someone is incapable of anything. When I carne to Harding I wasn' t sure what I could do, but people gave me a chance, and I can do a lot!" Many of us did not have the chance to get to know Chip Johnson personally while he was at Harding, but we all knew the familiar sound of his three-wheeler zooming down the sidewalks rarely without a friend on the back . Chip was born with cerebral palsy, an incurable and debilitating disease. He came to Harding in the fall of 1980,· not very sure of himself or his abilities, but graduated in May with a wealth of knowledge, self-confidence, and excitement about the future. According to Chip, most of his support and growth came through his close relationships with the guys in TNT. "They really believed in me. I played flag football, softball, and even volleyball with the club." His closest friend, Donnie Carey, who also graduated in May, not only was a great help to Chip, but was also a real spiritual support. 'We've really helped each other grow closer to God," said Chip. 'We always kept each other in check. Donnie is one of the greatest friends I've ever had." Donnie and Chip were practically inseparable at Harding, and they're making plans to find a job in the same city and room together in the fall. Campaigns Northwest have played a large part in his spiritual development at Harding. "I never thought I could even go on a campaign. It was scary to try, but after the first time I knew I would do it again. " Not only did he go back twice more, but he even became the campaign leader! Reaching out to others was top priority in Chip's life. He hoped his double major in special and elementary education would help him share his success with countless children afflicted with cerebral palsy and many other diseases . He hoped to work in Louisiana, but was not sure yet where God would lead him. "Sharing Christ is the most important thing to me, " he said. "I really want to be active with kids in church work, and someday," he paused and laughed, "I really want to come back and be a TNT sponsor." Harding will miss both Chip and Donnie, zooming ar~und on that three-wheeler together. "I've learned a lot about myself in the past six years," he smiled and sighed, "but I know that God will help me share what I've learned with many others." 11tt - Laura Daniel Goal setter.
