I am able to change the lemon in my life into lemonade.

SHAR Philosophy

I came here out of darkness,

in order to stop running from myself.

As an individual, I avoided confronting myself

and being confronted by others.

Thus, I was alone searching for a happiness

that was only within myself.

Nowhere else, but here at SHAR

will I begin to face reality.

Only by being honest with myself and others,

by being responsible for my actions,

and being here when someone turns to me

will I begin to grow.

Only by facing myself and others,

and by changing will I at last change my life.

In this house with my brothers and sisters,

I will at last take root and grow

into a Human Being endowed with

Honesty,Dignity, and Pride.
