That's why I'm going to speak about them. In 2000 I was eight years old and running around in an abandoned hedge maze with my brother. Suddenly we ran right into a group of men beating someone to an inch of their life with a metal pipe. Time stopped and we stared at each other for what seemed like too long, then I threw a rock at them and we ran for our lives. In 2003 I saw the cuts on my sisters best friend who had just been attacked by her ex boyfriend with a box-cutter for breaking up with him. In 2008 It was my brother's scars that I would be looking at. He tried to commit suicide and I, his own brother, didn't see it coming. I was devastated, and after floating around in a world of anger and shock I decided it was time for a change. No more complacency, no more accepting that this was the best we could do, no more throwing a rock and running; it was time for action. Since then I've worked with church groups, school groups, habitat for humanity and more to help those in need. Most recently and one of the things I am most proud of is working for Bernie Sanders
