“It is not always easy to be who we are, but as we grow up and mature and develop coping mechanisms that enable us to survive and thrive in a complicated world, we have the responsibility to reach back and help others still struggling along the way.

To have some impact, and to create meaning for yourself, and for the people you come in touch with.”
