From teaching him to swim, to getting to interact with dolphins in the Keys, we’ve had a blast. I want to acknowledge that I have gained a great deal too – I truly believe that the best way to help yourself is to help someone else, and the purpose of life is a life of purpose. Being a mentor with BBBS is a win-win all the way around.
