I’ve known about PFO for a long time. My sister, Morgan, has been involved since the organization first began and has always raved about how much she loves it. I’ve watched the teenagers in PFO and thought about what great people they are, and how they are all so well rounded and devoted. It wasn’t until last year that I thought about joining, but as I entertained the idea of me in Playing for Others, I was uncertain. Even though I loved everything that PFO stood for, I didn’t want to be seen as “Morgan’s little sister,” I wanted to be Molly. Despite my anxiety, Morgan and all her friends got me super psyched to join, and I’m glad I did. Being in PFO has given me something to be passionate about. I’ve realized that passion really isn’t how many hobbies you collect or all your creative achievements compiled into an impressive list. Passion is loving something and taking action with it, using it to impact everyone around you. Seeing my buddy laughing, or watching my committee get excited about our new ideas–those things have made me passionate. Playing for Others has done that for me.
