Looking Back, Moving Forward: Reflecting on the Impact of Community Experiences

I was reflecting on some of my past and am sharing that with you.
Outreach Community Center in Carol Stream had a big impact on my life. Especially Vanessa. The entire staff embraced who I was and nurtured my talents and capabilities, some of which I didn't know I had.
My parents are the products of their past and their environments, and I forgive them. I hold space in my heart for their hardships and the lessons we had to learn together.

Razmišljaa sam o nekima od svoje prošlosti i to dijelim sa vama.
Outreach Community Center u Carol Stream-u je imao veliki utjecaj na moj život. Posebno Vanessa. Cijelo osoblje je prihvatilo mene i njegovalo moje talente i sposobnosti, od kojih neke nisam znala da imam.
Moji roditelji su produkt njihove prošlosti i njihovog okruženja, i ja im opraštam. Držim prostor u svom srcu za njihove teškoće i lekcije koje smo zajedno morali naučiti.
