  • Through mentorship, the boy learned these skills, potentially changing his life trajectory.
  • Warmke emphasizes that small acts of service can have significant, unforeseen impacts, countering the idea that one needs to make grand gestures to be helpful.
  • He felt guilty while writing his book, not "practicing what he preached," thus signed up as a mentor.
