...What is important for us as parents is to give our daughter Alexis a well-rounded education, and a broader chance to meet and interact with young people from all walks of life. However, as we all know a simple word “well-rounded” is hard to define and give some thorough examples. First, Alexis is a kind and caring person, and she connects easily with others. At her current school, there is a program called ‘Building Bridges’ that reach out and engage to help children who need extra help and to support awareness of the different requirements for learning together. One-day Alexis asked if she could be a part of this, and we have been fully supported her idea ever since. It is such wonderful to see our daughter helping classmates as she interacts, reading, and playing together during sessions with a specialist.

My mother kept her pain in control for over ten years until a hike in Shenandoah Valley. Since then, she would bellow in pain at home.

...weeks ago, I heard someone begin to sing “Wind beneath My Wings.” Hearing such an inspirational song made me start to think about the “wind beneath my wings,” my mom. Webster’s Dictionary defines the word Influence as “the power to affect others.” To me, my mom embraced this power. One look at her gorgeous white smile could make any obscure day instantly brighter for those around her, and especially for me. She possessed an overwhelming nature that could never be shaken; she was truly a pure, gentle soul. It is amazing how time can fly by without any notice or warning. One day our lives are routine and orderly and then another day they change drastically. Losing someone close to us often leaves us finally realizing what life is truly about. Most of us have at least one circumstance in life that totally transforms our perspective of the world.
