When my maternal grandmother died, her obit listed all the things she did: organist at her church, leader of a local association of farmers' wives, organizer of community events, etc. On top of raising six kids and helping run a farm which was an actual business that needed to be profitable YoY. I was like... wow.

I'm also reminded about how the guy from Project Hail Mary, despite getting the opportunity to return home to a hero's welcome, decided to stay and teach the children of Rocky's race about science. (Oops, spoiler...)
