At the age of 19 I have lived a long and hard life. But we all have suffered losses so, I need no sympathy. I stand tall, work hard, and just take one step at a time. In a world where you can lose your life so quickly, there isn't much else I can do. I would like to believe there might still be some hope, for myself, for our district, for our world. But in times like these, so often fraught with peril, where do we find hope? Between what rock and hard place, lies the solution, the remedy, the answer to our plight? We will be beaten and bruised here. We may wake to see another day, if you consider that any motivation, only to be put through the flames again.
