I wrote this on my 101 goals list about 5 years ago: "help someone NOT commit suicide and get them out of a dark place." I don't know why it felt good at the time, but the opportunity had presented itself. Years ago I met a student who was on fire. She was insecure at... Continue Reading →
"No one had to eat out of Trash Cans!" - Eric Thomas Everytime I hear that, it gives me goosebumps.
