I live for the kids in my life. I find light in the darkness from the kids I work with, as well as my nephews and my niece. I see them learn and grow, and being able to play a part in helping them navigate this dizzying world keeps me grounded. There are so many things I had to learn the hard way, so many difficult situations I had to learn to cope with by myself, because the adults in my life didn't understand and/or care about my perspective. For me, being able to guide them, to be the adult for them that I never had in my childhood, gives me a strong sense of purpose that keeps me chugging along.
