Re: The Reasons we Continue to be in FIRST
Because this is the hardest thing I've ever done.

Why do I do it? Why does Rice play Texas? Why does BC play the Red Sox? Not because it is easy, but because it is hard. I have witnessed this program do amazing things. Kids who should not have graduated high school have gone to college on scholarships and become engineers. Kids who have it rough at home or are facing learning challenges find a place to fit in. Kids who need a family and a place to belong find one.

The best victories are the ones you work for. This program has shown me the value of hard work over the course of years. Few other things can do that.

And really, this is the most selfish thing I have ever done.
