"Plan your life loosely" "My daily struggle is that I have had a life beyond my expectations. I've had four careers, all great, by the way. People have always come up to me and say, 'Say, I have a job [for you], why don't you come over?' People have done that to me all my life. One of them ended up being city council, one of them running a treatment center, the director of community-based corrections...I teach now, and that happened the same way. So every day I wake up, and I pinch myself. I just can't believe the life I've had. And I'm only 71, so I have another one coming, I just don't know where it is! So I wake up every morning amazed at the life I've had because it was unplanned in a very structured kind of way. So I always tell young people, plan your life loosely to take advantage of unexpected opportunities. That's what I've always done. Plan your life, but plan it loosely."

The interns at Bowman Creek are an invaluable resource to our community. I hope many young people will take advantage of this opportunity.
