Who Mentored Antwone Fisher?

"She was the first adult I ever trusted. She spoke to all of us the same way. It was a tone of respect. And I wasn't accustomed to being spoken to that way. I think that being with her for three years made all the difference. So whatever it was that she possessed, that she gave to us, we kept".

"I'm not a bum… I'm a human being." I found this video and it really touched me. I was homeless for six months when I was seventeen and eighteen years old.
