The Christmas festivities have begun among our BDSTL fam. Such a jolly time at our North Leadership Team party.
Happiness is a choice.
15 days till Christmas you say? Oh yeah, we’re pumped!

You are more than the choices that you make. You are more than the sum of your past mistakes. You are more than the problems you create. You are MORE.
Incase no one has told you today... YOU are loved. YOU are valued. & you are seen!
Just be you! You’re never going to be happy being someone else.
Loving others starts with loving yourself
Finals week are quickly approaching & we know it can be a stressful season. But we also know that YOU CAN DO IT! For some extra encouragement check out our story for this week’s Intern Insight!
