What I love about being part of HEY’s family is that we do not only work together, but also support one another. The holidays are times when I become really lonely because many of my loved ones leave to go visit their family, but this year I felt that did have a group of friends to look to when times got hard. The EYAB team and friends decided to go ice-skating and have fun. Personally I had never been ice-skating or anything similar to it, so I kept on falling. Being able to accomplish a long time goal with great friends was one of the best experiences of my life. Thanks to experiences like these this winter break I did not feel alone, instead I realized that I am surrounded by wonderful people. I know that after my internship is over with Honoring Emancipated Youth that I still will be able to count on the great friends I have made at HEY.
