You may cut me with your eyes.
You may kill me with your hatefulness.
But still, like air, I'll rise."

You can be a pillar of HOPE for others by being the change you want to see. Share how having HOPE for the future helps you set goals, and share your story and how you overcame challenges to become who you are today.

"Don't just teach your children to read. Teach them to question what they read. Teach them to question everything. The value of an education is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think." ~ George Carlin
