Heidi McElroyGUEST
Seeing it, because one of the things about working with youth is you get to see them, you often get to see them come out the other side.

Heidi McElroyGUEST
But I don't think, I think sometimes, I don't know, because I don't really work with adults, but I think sometimes that can be, you know, it's been there for so long.

Heidi McElroyGUEST
And to see these youth that are just... really, really struggling and come out the other side.

Heidi McElroyGUEST
