Dear Mentors,

[Akash Rastogi]

This came up during a class discussion in my friend's sociology class today and I thought I'd share.

"I was sustained by one piece of inestimable good fortune. I had for a friend
a man of immense and patient wisdom and a gentle but unyielding fortitude.

I think that if I was not destroyed at this time by the sense of hopelessness which these gigantic labors
has awakened in me, it was largely because
of the courage and patience of this man.

I did not give in because he would not let me give in."

Thomas Wolfe

I have the greatest respect for many of the men and women involved in FIRST and FRC. Thank you.
