What volunteer experience has impacted you the most?: I remember a time when volunteers performed a large spruce up of our shelter and one of our homes. It was incredible to witness what they were able to accomplish that day, and even more rewarding to walk alongside the family that moved into a beautiful new home.
How do you define success?: “Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.”-Coach John Wooden. This quote describes my view of success. That feeling of knowing that you gave it your all is important, because it is what makes success that much sweeter and failure easier to digest.
