"I'm the spiritual coordinator for NAMI here on campus. Something I hope to convey with my work is that nobody is completely defined by mental illness. It's a part of you, but it's not all of you. You can still be a goofy person, someone who laughs, someone whose story isn't necessarily a 'sad story.'
"There's a quote from the poet Robert Louis Stevenson that I think applies to not just to those with mental illness but to all students here: 'Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.' Some days will be better or worse than others, and that's to be expected. But it's our attitudes towards the little moments that uplift us and keep us going."
