PACE CENTER FOR GIRLS OF PASCO COUNTY -
ELEVEN YEARS OF BELIEVING IN GIRLS

For only being 13, I've

been though a lot -

waking up every morning

knowing I'm gonna be made fun of about something

I'm not.

 My heart has been

broken more times than

I can count -

I was alone, and weak

and my hope went to a very

small amount -

After switching schools

in eighth grade, I knew my

life would never be the same -

Now I wake up every

single morning, with a

smile on my face -

Because now I'm strong,

and filled with hope,

All because of PACE.

- Kelsey S.
