Lesson of the day: "This man was working with his horse when there was a huge storm ... everyone ran everywhere he saw to hide from the storm. Yet he didn't move beside the horse, he stood beside him and hugged him tightly. They stood together in the pouring rain. .When the rain stopped, the man noticed that we were watching him, then with a kind smile he only said that he should take care of his friend.Lesson: Do not forget those who are by your side in the storm, because in the sun everyone can love.

Thinking Positive

Kemba Smith was a young college student from Richmond, Virginia when her life turned upside down. She fell in love with the wrong person, and her boyfriend was involved in a world of crime. Even though Kemba did not participate in the crimes, she was charged with conspiracy in 1994 and sentenced to 24 and a half years. She was also pregnant when she went to prison.

After six long years behind bars, President Bill Clinton commuted her sentence and this allowed her to walk free. Kemba refused to let her past define her. She went on to earn a bachelor's degree in Social Work from Virginia Union University. She spoke at schools, churches, and community events to guide young people away from dangerous paths. She started a nonprofit called the "Kemba Smith Foundation," and it supports families impacted by incarceration.

This year, Kemba received a full pardon from President Joe Biden. Her record was cleared, and her future was open once again. She even wrote a memoir "Poster Child," and saw her life turned into a movie that inspired countless others. Her story reminds all of us that people can rise after falling. Everyone deserves a chance to start over.
