"“The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.”" - unknown
Why I’m Here
Activism will always be an important value in my life. I love getting out there and doing everything in my power to help out with an issue or problem that needs to be resolved. I'm joining THINK because I want to find more ways to help out and make a huge difference in this world. Someone has to do it...I figure I might as well step up and take the challenge. I'm a big supporter of the Invisible Children organization, and I work with children and adults that have special needs, loving every minute of it!
