Her dark brown eyes locking with mine, her wide grin not one quite of surprise but wonder, ended with a gentle nod of appreciation and love." The author saw how education was the key to success but also the key to growing and learning new things. When he saw her eyes and her smile, he knew that she was full of questions, she wanted to know more. 
Onions- "Remembering that day my mother took my sister and I down an uncertain road, I felt an indefinable vulnerability. In that moment of vulnerability, ironically, I found a source of strength which will drive me through any challenges that lay ahead in college and beyond." The author took her pain and vulnerability and turned it into strength and perseverance. Those skills helped her get through the honors program and YYGS, she wanted to quit, she wanted to give up. But her experiences with abuse and her background changed her for the better. She used her pain to become stronger, she didn't play the victim card. She wasn't a victim, she was a survivor. ]]> 2020-11-23 17:06:22 UTC https://padlet.com/crowe72/qsw6jjupleg4nc2d/wish/953168964 Angela Diaz https://padlet.com/crowe72/qsw6jjupleg4nc2d/wish/953169305 Aim high: when the author said "watching her ability and confidence grow, left me with the desire to help others." gave him the motivation to try and feel more "useful" it sounds bad but helping others also gives others hope.
