"Individually, we are one DROP. Together, we are an OCEAN,"

I dont know what it is about these kids that continually draws me to them. All I know, is that they never cease to amaze me. With each forth coming day they prompt me to analyze my life with a new perspective. I have never once left them feeling empty. They renew my faith within humanity. Each and everyone of them is living proof that there is good in the world. They exhibit characteristics that are capable of leaving individuals astonished, nay, dumbfounded. Aspects of their young psyche demonstrate that there is, in fact, more to teenagers than most people allow credit for. 

I am able to see a little piece of myself within each and everyone of them. From the ones whom are like my own flesh, to those I am only beginning to get to know, they teach me something new about myself; who I am, who I am becoming, who I aspire to be. 

I am proud to know each and every one of these individuals. I am even more grateful to be apart of their lives. To be there to guide them, and watch them grow. There is nothing more beautiful on this earth, than to witness the mental, emotional, and physical growths of another human being. 

I feel like I have been able to make a difference, that none other can compare to.
