I am here

I am here to grow.

I am here to grow physically: to be able to accomplish things with my body that I couldn’t before.

I am here to grow intellectually: to expand my mind and

increase my ability to understand and make meaning.

I am here to grow emotionally: to become a better friend,

kinder person, a more loving and caring soul.

I am here to grow spiritually: to experience joy, wonder, and beauty, to figure out how and why I am alive and to experience a sense of connection to myself, to my community, and to things greater than me.

I am here to grow.
