And by the end of each phase, I realize that this stage and the journey have given me far more than I ever expected. It continues to give me more than I wished for.”
He continued, “If our efforts have even slightly touched someone’s life or ignited hope, I consider our 25-year journey a success. I’ll see you all in the next season. Keep believing in your hard work, and keep your dreams alive.”
