I take the masters class in resilience, hope, and the strength and power of the human spirit from these beautiful kids. They remind me that not only does the incredible will to survive reside in each of us but also the power and ability to change our stories. Because of my work with them, I switch my career from political social work and community organizing to the therapeutic work of helping people to know themselves and their strengths (so that they can go out and change the world for the better).
