IPC COMMUNITY 36 FALL 2023 Eleven-year-old girls hold many inter- ests, from sports and playing games, to learning how to make more complex decisions and finding commonalties with friends and loved ones. While Brandy Tharp may have been doing all those things at that age, she was also learning a new skill that most of her friends probably weren't—how to solder. It lit a fire in this young girl who enjoyed math, help- ing others, and finding ways to harness her energy. "My mom taught me how to solder on rechargeable battery units that she built," A Passion for Helping Others Brandy Tharp believes you can't train others unless you know how to do it yourself By Michelle Te, IPC Community Managing Editor EDUCATION
