As We Are: Cory Hardrict

I look back at my mother and her death, and see that all she wanted was to help her family. It's tough. It's hard to know that she lost her life; that she sacrificed her life for her family. That bothers me to this day. But, that's the bottom line. That's why I'm driven by any means to make sure that this comes to past. For example, I want to be there for my own family. My son needs me. My wife needs me. It's not about money. It's about time; about spending as much time as I can with my son. I want to let him to grow up to be a respectable young man, have goals, and do great things in this world. It will work out.
