Humble and Kind by Tim McGraw. I love each lyric in the entire song.
I grew up as a peach farmer’s daughter so most of my free time was spent working in the orchards. My dad was pretty strict and kept us sisters busy doing irrigation, fertilizing, tractor work, and harvesting. In high school, the only extracurricular activity I was involved in was the Asian Club/East-Indian Club.
Being a HOPE dealer to me means giving youth a vision, a voice, a safe space and the tools to be successful in life. It means teaching them how to advocate for themselves and to check their mental health and to know that they are not alone.
To inspire, educate,
and mobilize young people to
build a healthier future for
themselves, their families,
and their communities.
