I was really resistant at first, not listening to anything or trying anything another way, but I have acceptance today. I have worked on my anger issues. I’m more responsible today. I am active in all the programs I’m in. I feel like I’ve come a long way from nine months ago when I first got down here.

And spark some compassion out there, amongst all of us, and listen to each other. And then, you know, I really think we’ll come out of this.
