        She probably saved him, now he’s passing it on. Never underestimate the impact you can have on a kid, positive or negative, it shapes them.

        This is amazing. I had someone in third grade who helped me through my parent’s divorce. School counsellors can have a profound impact on kids years later. To think this is something that often gets cut due to budget constraints. How many kids go without this life saving help?

        I’m the same way BECAUSE of all that I’ve been through in my life! And I was shut out from being able to talk about these things! So I offer myself to anyone in need of JUST that!
