pryelluw Sorry to hear that your brother died. More than a decade ago I had 4 way by-pass. The doctors told me they thought I could die any minute. Waiting for the doctors to take me to the operating room I had a conversation with God where I asked God if I would survive. I was told yes, that it was not about me and was about the kids.
It took me a few years to figure out what was meant by the conversation. You see I have two kids. I came to realize that it was about more than my kids. So now I work at a University after working at a credit card company and I volunteer for programs that help youth. Mostly STEM related activities like FIRST Robotics.

This is so true. I used to think I needed to volunteer in ways that were public or the opportunities provided by my employer or friends. Once I got over that I searched for opportunities that were aligned with my skills and talents. So I work with STEM and more.
