Give the gift of time to others
"The greatest gift you can give someone is
your time," Nabritt says. "I remember how
older kids helped me better understand
how to live my best life regardless of my
bleeding disorder, and I decided to do the
same.
"At 18, I was old enough to transition from
being a camper to a camp counselor at
Camp Wannaklot. And when the National
Hemophilia Foundation issued a call for
membership to its National Youth Lead-
ership Institute (NYLI), I jumped at the
opportunity. I've used my NYLI platform
to lead workshops for young community
members on public speaking and advocat-
ing with legislators, and to share my own
experience."
The grass is green enough where you are
"There have been times I've envied people with-
out bleeding disorders. But I quickly realized that I
had no way of knowing if these people lived better
lives than me, nor should I waste any more time
thinking about it. I always strive to reach for the
stars, but I also know it's important to keep my
feet on the ground and do the best I can, where I
am, with what I have."
