  4. There are more local resources for people’s needs than we knew existed
  5. It’s always a good day for popcorn
  6. A cup of coffee can make a huge difference
  7. Having a strong support system is vital to life success
  8. You need to be your own advocate
  9. There are more local job opportunities than you think
