Thought for the Day
It's all about the kids and all about relationships and the people. If I have an opportunity to make a small impact on 18- to 22-year-olds in the time they're with me, that's my goal. And to learn some life lessons in the process and to enjoy an experience like this that they will never forget. Because tomorrow is never guaranteed. And I know that personally.
--Joe Breschi
