When I begin to get discouraged and frustrated with school, this is the first picture I look at. This is all it takes for me to be instantly reminded of how much of a blessing college is. Attending this university is a privilege. Taking classes that will ultimately help me pursue my passions is a blessing. I look at these girls and their sweet, bright, beaming faces -- these girls who will never have this opportunity. These girls who's parents live in the slums of El Bambu and can barely afford to pay for their elementary schools. These girls who have a life of working in the fields and raising children to look forward to. Who will more than likely not finish middle school, let alone graduate high school or obtain a college degree. College is a blessing, and it should be treated as so.
