"This sad and amazing journey..."

8 February 2018: This post's title comes from the words a young man I met today used to describe his life so far. He is a Dreamer (DACA) student who was separated from his parents at a very early age, a stand-out athlete, a strong student, and a community leader (who volunteers to feed the homeless and help battered women, among other activities). He is keenly interested in issues of social justice and diversity. And he's still in high school.

And he wants to come to Shepherd. How lucky are we?
