Is everything to me and i watched her walk away from me knowing what was going to happen. I cant even imagine being Strong Enough to go on from that point. We. Are really hard to reach now theyre just structed with their internet social networks and i think that sonia changed that for me at least oh. She had such a personal message that it was hard not to put yourself in her place and think about what it would be like to be her and i think that that got all of our attentions she made me want to change things the way things are she made me want to make an impact on the world and i think thats why its so important that she keeps talking to people and keeps changing peoples lives like she did mine.
