“I chose to become a teacher because over the years, I’ve gained healing and regained power through the purity of their minds, the love in their hearts and the joy in their smiles.”
“Power was taken away from me. It left me feeling so hopeless and not in control. The way that I dealt with that was through being involved in leadership programs and I became obsessed with the idea of power. The only way I could take control back is through leadership programs, but that power is an external power. If you don’t have the power within, you’re going to hit a dead end.” – Patrick Harris, child sexual trauma, age 8 & sexual assault, ages 18 and 19
