We all have those hard days, when it feels like you just can’t climb back up the hill again.  When you work with kids that struggle, their struggles become part of you.  You feel what they feel.  Your heart breaks for them when life gets tough.  People often ask why I started this school.  Part of it is my own story as a struggling teen, lost in a world that didn’t seem to understand me.  Part of it is because I know they can be successful, despite what some may say.  These words from the kids say it all though.  THIS is why I do what I do…
