Looking Back "I have not set the world on fire but I feel I have had a very good life and I am content . When I look back at my teen years I never thought I'd be doing as well as I am right now. I'm doing all the things I ever wanted to do and expect to do more as time goes by." Fred (mentor)
"Although I haven't always made good decisions, I think I have learned from my mistakes, and grown stronger and wiser because of them. In a way I am even thankful for my mistakes because they taught me a lot.(Before dying). I want to know that I've made a difference.,big or small and that I have helped in one way or another." Sara (mentee)
"As you grow up and get older, you look back and you could go on and on about things you could have done differently but the wishes never change things. All you can do is look at your regrets and understand them and learn from them and hope they make you a stronger person." Lena (mentor)
"I would like to leave the world with all the knowledge I can provide. I would like to make a very big difference in someone's life. When I look back at my life I would like to see me as a successful human being." Mike (mentee)
"Sometimes I feel like I haven't accomplished very much, but other times I look back and feel proud about certain things" Devon (mentee)
"My purpose in life, I think, is just to be known and have people say that I did something in my life to be remembered for. When I'm no longer here I want to leave knowing I will be missed and that I will miss those who I love. When I look back at my life I want to see that I tried my best at everything and I accomplished what I wanted do." Dan (mentee)
"I feel pretty good (about accomplishments so far). I had a goal to become a fighter pilot and I was one. There are not many people in the world who have done that. There weren't many people who were accepted for it. I was a teacher and principal and not many people have had the opportunity to do that. One had a great deal of influence on the educational system and that was very satisfying." Colin (mentor)
"I have become more understanding and I think I can handle myself better...and I've become more forgiving. I have also learned to make friends easier." Ida (mentor)
"I think I'm a little scared of the end of my life, but I want to be as young as possible or act as young as possible all through my lifetime. I want to get answers to all my questions before I die, when I look back at the end of my life I want to see all of my questions answered." Brian (mentee)
