As soon as I walked in I was introduced to everyone and felt so welcome. Most times you go to an event that is out of your comfort zone, you feel awkward. The individuals at the LGBT center made me feel the complete opposite. Although I did not share anything and instead sat and spectated, I learned many things through a different…

Program 428 “Jayson Jay Cooley, hmm, what a name. So why do you think you should be considered to be one of the first to get this program?” “Well, to be honest, you probably have thousands of more interesting people that would look better getting the program.
