They're eager to grow and to learn, but they're still in that development process. And when you see that same student a couple of years later, you can actually physically see the growth and the change, and the maturity in the things that they've learned.

So whether that's taking in a donation of coats, right, or donation of food or medical items, right, to going out and visiting local schools.

And we think that's very important that you go out and you serve your particular community if you're going to be a leader in your community.
