Meet Teresa.
"I dropped out of school (West Chester) because I was raped. This is my second semester back to school, and I'm majoring in bio/pre-PT. The therapy that I went through with helped me get into a better place. The man who raped me was random, and it was a random violent act. Today, with a lot of therapy I realize that he was mentally ill, and I'm able to still trust people. Therapy had a lot to do with that. It took two years to become much stronger and resilient. I think a lot of people kind of hide and want it to be over right away, but there's a lot of help out there. The therapy may seem hard, but it's worth it."- Teresa
About Me
- Amanda
- I'm not doing this project to necessarily make new longterm friends, or go have a drink with these people. Nor is it to pass any judgements on ones life. My goal is to simply meet interesting, and maybe not so interesting strangers who I wouldve never taken the time to talk to otherwise. One that may differ, or perhaps relate to my own life. So many times, you walk past someone, and they wont even raise their head in the slightest to say hello. I'll never understand why. The challenge to myself is not only to surpass that simple hello with one person a day, but to convince them to look into my lens and tell me something about themselves. My name is Amanda Surkin, and this is my journey of meeting 100 new faces. Take the time to listen, you may learn something :)
