My Why:
“I get a tremendous feeling when I’m helping others, and enjoy being useful and needed.  Being in a position to help children in need is the most rewarding thing anyone could ever do.  As I work with troubled youth who really need me, I know the help I’m giving them is life-changing.  And I’m only one piece of the puzzle doing that here.”
