The pleasing thing is being able to be in an environment where, even though I'm a rookie, everyone wants to help you out.

If you go about trying to please everyone, there's going to be endless struggles.

We're so lucky where we live, but we're so out of touch. Everyone's mindset is made to feel that refugees are a problem, but it's more than that. They're human beings, too. They were forced from their homes.
