These past few months I’ve been pro-bono-”ing” a group of com sci upperclassmen on their thesis. I got word a few days ago that they passed their panel defense with only minor revisions… good enough, because I was feeling guilty that I wasn’t able to give them any more help with a mock defense as I was out of the city at that time.

Of course most of the grunt work was done by them as I only gave advise so the credit should go to them for their success.

What did I get out of this? The satisfaction that I was able to give something back to the community that I came from.
