| “ | This time last year, I was one of those girls who had it all. A great family, an awesome boyfriend and a phenomenal school. But since then, my brother has lost his freedom, my dad lost his job, and I lost my boyfriend, not to mention, my best friend, my clubhouse and virtually anything that gave me a sense of hope. I was lost. I thought it was the worst year of my life. But now, I've realized that it is also the best year. I learned about the beauty of a fresh start. I learned the sense of accomplishment from overcoming adversity. I'm a year wiser today, and now I know that the world is much harsher than I was sheltered to believe. I know that some people can have a dark side. Even people you've known your whole life. But I also know that people can change, and as long as I don't lose my hope for humanity, I can make a difference. And making a difference is what this place is all about. | ” |
