Re: How Has The Concept Of 'Paying It Forward' Made An Impact On You Or Your Team?
Both great stories! (Pay it Forward is my favorite movie by far! (even though I get made fun of for it)) Here is a story of my own.

Yesterday was our teams annual spaghetti dinner at a local firehouse. For some background on the time in my life, I am currently applying to colleges. I noticed that this one guy had an RPI sweatshirt, which is my 3rd pick for a school. I figured that he was on the team at one point, considering that I had seen at least 20 other alumni of the team there that night. After the event was over, I came up to him and asked him about RPI. He gave me some great information, and he even offered to write a letter of recommendation.

Now, the only way that this can be considered Paying it Forward is if I continue the favor, which I most definitely plan on doing. I am sure this has happened before within our team and other teams, but its great to see how it can happen to anyone.
