Freshman 12 months, I was dazed and confused. I had simply moved throughout a stretch of 5368 miles from Ukraine to the American Midwest, bought the prospect to mould myself into the creation of my goals. Caught within the whirlpool of alternatives, I was desperately attempting to seize on to a straw of normalcy as […]
“How is it that a thirteen year old boy can raise more money than any of our board members?” asked the director of Camp One Step at a Time to open his board meeting. All of the board members were truly in shock at this opener. Did a thirteen year old really raise that much […]
