My respect for these athletes has changed dramatically. A shunned portion of society has an opportunity to enjoy success. This year as NDSU Team Maker president, time is a real commitment raising funds for athletes. Also i have been asked in getting financial commitments for the American Diabetes roast of Bucky Maughan. This is not to be interpreted as a platform to blow my own horn, but an attempt to stress involvement .
Participation is the key, no matter what the level of volunteerism or financial commitment.
With the involvement you will receive rewards. Maybe these rewards will not be tangible but personally you will have the self-esteem that you made someone's life better. Warranted self-esteem is probably the most important key to feeling good about yourself.
