A New Beginning

Submitted by Christopher James on Tue, 2009-06-30 10:23.

Haskell Indian Nations University for me, is a place to start over. Everyone is working towards a common goal. Everyone is trying to a degree to better their lives. No one knows your past or where you came from, they can only take you as you are. For me personally, I had my demons back on the reservation. This is what brought me here. I have come to this school so that I may gain the weapons needed to return to my home and defeat the demons that plague me and my people. I have found an evironment that can help become the man I am destined to be be. This is A NEW BEGINNING.
