Just like my belief that a good citizen does not just take from their country but also gives back, lead me to join the Navy. My belief that a good resident does not just take from their community but gives back, has lead me to seek out commuity groups that give back to the community.
I have tried to be a good resident to our community and hope that with respect to these efforts the sum of my sucesses are greater then the sum of my screwups. The Rotary International has two adopted motto: “Service Above Self” and “He Profits Most Who Serves Best”. I don’t know how to measure the profits of giving, probably because I haven’t really spent much time trying, but it has not prevented me from believing that trying your best to serve is the right thing to do as a person, a christian, a citizen and a resident. So I will keep trying no matter what the future brings.
