Always remember
"You are an original, an individual, a masterpiece.
Celebrate that; don't let your uniqueness make you shy.
Don't be someone other than the wonder you are.
Every star is important to the sky."

Real life. Real issues. Real people.
As I journey into and through this dream of reaching out to girls in my community – I realize it’s a huge dream. This dream involves real issues, real people and real life – it’s that big. Some days I am more than ready to dive in and reach out in every possible ways. And, some days I am really petrified – the kind that leaves you paralysed. Today, I had an honour and privilege to meet with one of the girls am intending to mentor. Her name is Alinah and she is the sweetest girl. We laughed and talked like we’ve known each other for a very long time. The next thing I know, she starts crying, right in the middle of our conversation. Prior to our meeting I expected anything to happen but I did not expect her to get emotionally overwhelmed. It was our first meeting and we had ice cream and talked about school. Without going into details of Alinah’s emotional reaction, once again, I’m convinced that we can be the change we wish to see in the world....
