Thought Provoking

Today was another thought provoking portion of this trip for me. Meeting Ms. Hampton and listening to her stories of how she overcame torment and managed to find the strength to face such
things. Honestly, I saw a lot myself in her stories. After she was finished talking, I walked up to her and asked her (not verbatim) “With all the trials you've faced and names you were called, how did
you find the self confidence to love yourself?”. She replied (again, not verbatim) “The love from my family came with me every time I left my home. The love comes from within YOU.”
