Encore Part 2

 On Tuesday I received an email from the speaker of the LEGACY Connect event that read,

Thank you, I really appreciate it. When you came to speak to us, it was amazing because you inspired me to peruse my dreams and live up to my expectations. I'm really interested in Civil Engineering and I've trying to find and get in touch with successful engineers to help aid me in my quest for success in the engineering field. I learned that the best way to learn is to have a mentor and learn from them and follow their path to success.
            Thank you,

You inspire me
 
P.S. Hope we can stay in touch.
The speaker told me it nearly brought him to tears because he was glad to serve the student even though he, himself was going through one of the hardest weeks of his life. It is amazing becasue sometimes we forget that investing our time on another's life can propel our own life into a place of gratitude and rejoicing. The student who wrote this letter was a male and as I mentioned before I wanted to make sure we reached the young males, well goal accomplished! It is almost time to celebrate! Once the student and hopefully other students graduate college and attribute their success to the aid of the mentor then we will really party because our long term work was doen efficiently and effectively!
