One of my dreams is to become a pediatric psychologist,

    In the discombobulation of day to day life, all types of people are going to try to knock you down. This hardship was experienced personally by Brenda Roza as she realized that “there may not be that person next to you that's going to speak up for you”.

Regardless, it is imperative that you are able to defend yourself- just as Brenda Roza did. Having been told throughout her entire life that she couldn’t do certain things, Brenda thought that that being a successful person might be beyond reach to her - impossible.…

    With rain ferociously pounding the roof of our vehicle and sharp bolts of lightning illuminating the sky, we bounced along as the primitive roads struggled to maintain their shape. The six-hour drive was not much of a warm welcome to the country—weaving through the severely impoverished urban areas near the airport, then tossing its passengers about in a tropical thunderstorm. While our van climbed to the Haitian central plateau and several of my team member’s stomachs surged with motion sickness, mine fluttered in anticipation of the coming weeks. Upon arrival at the United Christians International compound in the Caiman area of Haiti, I instantly remembered the overwhelming peace I felt two years prior.…

    I had been waiting for this moment for about two weeks, and now it's here and I am nothing but thrilled to have this opportunity. We started loading up the van and the next thing I know we’re on the road. When we had gotten to the building that we were staying at we all got out and stretched. We all grabbed our things and sat on a bench right outside the door while we had waited for Marcy to finish so we could get to our room.
