The right people don’t question your value They remind you of it Relationships are hard to maintain But easy to be a part of So aim for progress over perfection Don’t be ashamed of who you are Don’t burn bridges Find opportunities to keep going Today is where your book begins The rest is still unwritten What is forgiveness? It’s letting go It’s good things outweighing the bad So help me to d

By Kira Rodriguez, Contributor The ear-piercing honking of the alarm woke me from my gentle sleep.

While our team won the catapult challenge (and should’ve won the photo scavenger challenge), we really won when it came to our bonding experience and how special the

By Anonymous Anonymous is sitting staring at the blank document, wondering what to write. That blinking cursor pisses them off. Because last time they wrote something profound. Something that meant something. And now they have to top that. Because progress isn't linear, but their talent has to be. Because if they are not great, they’ll be forgotten.
