Another person that I got to know for a little while before he passed was our lead mentor, Mr. Beck. He was so passionate about teaching kids how to do things and how to make the most of life. He is my main inspiration for joining the team because he was the overseer on our FLL team, and just the excitement that came to him. When 10-year old kids told him about what they were creating with a few boxes of Legos, his face lit up because he knew he was changing our life, and the culture of the country.
I am a part of this wonderful group of people, this great team, and these supporting peers because of him. Unfortunately, I did not realize this until he passed. I wish I could have learned as much as possible from him and gotten to know him, but what happened happened, despite how saddening it was.
