Josh's Journey: From Homelessness to Hope
“For me, as the optimist in this conversation, to be able to master the art of playing a piano or the nuances of psychology or even ballet, just to be able to appreciate all these things, to be able to appreciate all these things that I don't have enough time on earth to learn or appreciate, that's what we would be able to do.”
