I've been seeing this type of post float around for a while.
Have any of you ever heard of Challenge Day? If not, click here.
I was involved my freshman year of high school.
That's the event that the MTV shows were based off of (if you really knew me,
cross the line, etc).
That day was life changing for me, and everyone who participated.
For even though many ended up reverting back to their old ways, for one day,
everyone in that room was a sibling, a friend, family.
So I'm going to do this post.
And it's a little heavy - I apologize for that :) I tried to keep it short!

I hate that you have had some rough times. But I'm glad that you're such an amazing person despite it all. You should teach me Italian. =) I'm living in Italy and I still can't speak it.
