The opportunity to help someone tell their story of pain and
find healing. The opportunity to provide support for someone and bring people
together so they know they are not alone. The opportunity to listen. The
opportunity to advocate for the change that this world needs so desperately.
These are the opportunities I have this fall. The issue-
advocacy and support for survivors of torture- is not an issue I am familiar
with or passionate about, but it involves the well-being of people. People who
have been beaten down, who have experienced unimaginable horrors, whose have
stories next to which my own story pales in comparison. These are the people I
will be working with this semester.
