Better than any badge or accolade I could receive. Bellow a member’s response to our interaction.

”A saint. Helpful from the first start. I'm not alone I'm relieved”

biggest thing I've learned in life as that nothing worth having, has come without a struggle, a few missteps and getting dirtied up a bit by life, the beauty of it all I was only able to use the dirt I shook off myself because there were other's invested in me making it through if not all the way through those time at least playing their part of that moment.

Listening to what I was going through and caring about what help I would need to achieve the goals that I was pursuing played a significant part in my being able to have a story to share about success and failures that I have in my life. Someone listening to me and just being an ear sometimes for me to bounce things off of them and dampen the thoughts that seemed louder in my head then once I was able to get them out sometimes they didn't seem so big, the troubles or what seemed like troubles when only I was dealing with them is what I volunteer and give back if I spent rest of my life giving back it would only be a fraction of what I recieved from other just giving me their ear. 

This year provides another opportunity to do my part only if its a little piece enough little pieces can lead a much larger success.
