By Michelle Zuniga, Kaleo Dallas Intern The story of our impact goes far beyond what our eyes can see. It goes far beyond what our ears hear and indefinitely far beyond our lifetime. “Impact” is a continuous thing as it ultimately is a never-ending ripple. The words that were spoken spark from one person to another. I am sure that … Read More
