“I think
our group creates together something that is beautiful. I’ve
learned to build better relationships. There was a time when
I did not care about anyone, and I did not need anyone. I’ve
learned to re-evaluate my thinking and re-evaluate people......Relationships
are important. I find that if there’s any discord
of any sort, especially with those that you consider a
friend
and care about, you try to find a way to work it out and
make it better. So, I think the value of relationships...it
has
a greater importance to me now, since being in this program.”
