Impression Chapter
Chapter 13 in the book talks about how Tim raises and donates money for unprivileged kids. He talks about how he reached his dreams and how he wants others to leave theirs. His goal is to raise money to help them and also inspire them to never give up and they will reach their dreams. Tim's motto is "when I leave this earth I want to leave something behind that will change people's lives." The impression this has left on me is I want to help people that have less than I do and also never give up in anything I do to reach my goals.
