Hi! I’m one of The Twinz!!! I just want to share with everyone- whenever you’re feeling down, o feling sorry for yourself, remember to do ONE thing. Count your blessings.
Think about the country and state in particular you live in and how blessed you are to even live in your situation. Think about how lucky you are to be free, to have the miraculous gift of hearing, vision, walking, think of how blessed you are to have arms, thumbs, legs, hair, a job, to be able to go to school in America and for former foster outh- to have it ENTIRELY paid for! Think about how lucky you are to hav friends, and people who arent even related to you and that have probably never met you be supportive (OFA)!!! Think about the many people that DO care about you! THink about your faith, your leaders, the people you look up to! Think about your dreams and stay on the path to fulfilling them. The first step to making your dreams come true- is to start.
Twincerely

I saw this post and thought Oh, Goodie an update from Sean! You have gotten involved in so much! This is one of the keys to really becoming part of the community. It is great to see your taking advantage of all that the university has to offer. And I know if you stay focused, you can become an Avanti and help others! In the meantime, grades come first

Hi, Sean,
You don’t know me but I loved reading your story of your first days at school! It can seem overwhelming and I am so encouraged that you are hanging in there! I know with each day you will become more and more aclimated with the campus. Good luck and keep chugging,
JP
