Mark Twain once said “the two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why” (Twain, ND). I found out why when I was 19, pregnant and homeless living on the streets of New York City. I knew I had a purposed and that there had to be something more to life than the cards I was given. I believe change starts with one and that is why I decided that it will be my life’s mission to help end homelessness and be a service to other people. I have dedicated over 3000 hours to the service of others and it will not stop until every person has a place to sleep. It takes one person to start a ripple, but when ripples join forces it when true change can occur. People joining forces are the reason social change occurs.
