I am trying to save our lives.” I chose this quote because it has a deep meaning to me‚ which is that Sherman cares deeply about the children’s lives and he believes their success is his success.

    neared towards my very special day. I was nestled deep in comfort and warmth as I awaited the ear drumming beeps of my alarm clock.
