"Excuse me, does anyone have a lighter because I have a light that needs to be sparked!
Over the past 11 months I’ve put a lot of things to the side
to focus on school so that I could get the most out of it. I can now say, since
I can see the end so close ( No
worries Professor Joe, I’m not taking a break yet)I”ve been thinking what I’m I
going to do with all of my free time.
The answer finally came to me over a short vacation last week and it’s,
volunteer for the Big Brother Big Sister organization here in Orlando. I want
to spread my spark out to children who are just looking for a spark to follow.
Who are looking for assistance lighting their own spark. As a small speck on
this big universe I always try to give back. However the time has come for me
to give back to another person.
The ending of the EMDT program is a great time for me to pick up another
life changing torch."
I can't imagine a better testimony to the power of our program than you carrying the torch into a place where young people are yearning for a spark! What a great use of your skills, and a great way for you to pay it forward, in a way. Those kids will be in "our" classrooms one day, and they will be carrying your motivation and spark with them. Thanks, Katie, for being you!
