"Devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning."
Why We Love Tracy Nash: Tracy is very generous with her time and her enthusiasm for helping the girls. She has high expectations of all of them, which in turn guides them towards respectful, appropriate behavior. She is very responsible: if she is going to be absent we always know well in advance. She travels such a long distance just to help us; we are truly fortunate to have such a wonderful volunteer. Tracy should be awarded Volunteer of the Month because of her dedication, enthusiasm and patience with the girls. She gives Girls Inc. her all every time!
Who's The STRONGest Person You Know: Retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. She graduated from Stanford University Law School "With Great Distinction" third in her class, yet no one would hire her when she graduated because she was a woman. She finally wrote a letter to the San Mateo County, California, attorney and told him she would work for nothing and share his secretary's office to get a job, thus beginning a long and distnguished career, ultimately becoming the first woman on the Supreme Court.
What's The SMARTest Thing You Have Ever Heard: "Devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning." This is a quote I found right after I retired from the military and it definitely fit with what I was looking to accomplish at this point in my life.
What's The BOLDest Thing You Have Ever Done: Join the US Air Force and embark on a 20-year-long career. While I didn't start college planning to join the military, I couldn't quite see myself settling down in one place with one employer for the rest of my life. I decided the Air Force might be a good option and went for it. I have absolutely no regrets about that decision over 20 years later.
