That daily stuff - those responsibilities that seem more like distractions - those things we want to rush and just get through to get on with the better and bigger assignments of life - those things that are unnoticed places of service?

Men apply if they think they meet 60 percent of the requirements.7 — Sheryl Sandberg

Not my finest moment, but I enjoyed it. — Tucker Elliot

But I know I didn't love school for school's sake. I had never really been what people call an 'academic' person, nor did I see myself becoming one.

And nothing was better than working toward my dreams alongside people I loved who were doing the same. — Liz Murray
