Missing Room 13

As we all know tomorrow is the day of our presentations and i have been doing a lot of thinking regarding my stay at Laurel Hill and what i learned from my students and my experience. I didn't expect room 13 and the kids in it to have such a profound impact on my life but I find myself thinking about them frequently. Many of the children in my class came from broken homes with very little support and love and i find my heart breaking over the fact that they have no one to guide them in their future. I now see what people mean by the next generation is the future. The children were so beautiful and brilliant and the fact that they may be left behind and forgotten is a travesty. What i have taken with me from this internship is the power of change, we actually can make an impact on these children's lives and their future.
