To quote a great show by the name of One Tree Hill, "What you do matters. And how you do it matters."

Whether you are a D1 athlete, the next Madam Curie, or you think of yourself as an average "Joe," you are important and what you do is important. You were given many talents of all kinds and what you do with those talents matters. You don't have to shoot the game winning basket to be important and you don't have to give every dime in your bank account to make a difference. Giving your time and talents to whatever you are passionate about is one of the most important things in life you can do. You have the chance to make a difference in the world with whatever you do as long as you do it with integrity, passion, and humility. We are blessed with so much in this life and it is our duty to make the world a better place with whatever talents and gifts you have. You get what you give is what this world tells us, but what if we were to give more than we get? Decide today to do whatever you do with all your heart and mind and you will leave this world a better place. What you do and how you do it matters so do everything with integrity and I promise your legacy will be a great one.
