FYI holds annual ‘Celebration of Everything’
One of the youths celebrated during the event, Aaron Hofmann, graduated with honors from California State University, Northridge, with a degree in engineering. In a message to his peers, he said, “You didn’t deserve to experience undue hardship in your life, none of us did, but you still went through these experiences for a reason: to strengthen you and form you into a formidable young man or woman, capable of overcoming any challenge laid before you, most certainly including a university degree. In those dark times when you’re just about to give up, remember your purpose. Whether you’re hoping to work on a dream project in a career, support your younger siblings, or start a family of your own one day, remember that purpose when you’re ready to quit. I’ll put it together in one sentence: It is the lessons you learn from the challenges you overcome today that make possible your dreams in the future.” -- Santa Clarita Valley Signal
