North Carolina


One job may give me hope.

One job may define my life.

One job; the chance to change my future.

 

One place, North Carolina.

One place, the destination of my growth.

One place, the animal sanctuary.

One place is the land of dreams.

 

North Carolina is where I will find my place,

Where I will live my passion.

Living ordinarily, while taking care of many.

 

Changing not just my life, but those of the animals.

Rescuing the souls in need,

Saving what I can;

The strays, the hungry, and the neglected.

 

One job won’t fix the problem,

One day won’t be enough;

But it can be the catalyst for change.

One person can make a difference,

One scholarship can make a dream a reality,

And one lifetime will alter history
