Up until a few days ago, I was fearful of the future. My life was changing and all I felt anguished. Every day I thought of the difficult road ahead, the economic limitations, time and my family. There was then someone who said to me: "If you want to change things, start with yourself. By using examples, you can teach more than by using words." That moved me, and now, I dream of having a college degree and growing as a person.

My lack of persistence made me fail a friend. That error forced me to question my values. I was quite depressed for a while and I prayed for a new opportunity. Life smiled at me when I received the letter of acceptance to BBF. I am so thankful. BBF is the light at the end of my tunnel.
