This summer marked 10 years since Kismet Rock Foundation has been a part of my life. The program has helped me grow into the person that I am today, and I will be forever grateful to be a part of the Kismet family. But this post isn’t about me, it’s about these two groups of phenomenal individuals that I have seen grow up over the past four years. 

A major part of Kismet has always been the family-like atmosphere that is created in the house. For one week each summer I have had the pleasure of getting to know each and every one of these students, while we all played games, cooked and ate dinner, packed lunches, did chores and went on evening activities together. Each one of them has a light inside them that shines brighter than they will ever know and they will always hold their own special place in my heart. Over the past four years I have learned about their dreams and ambitions and I look forward to hearing about all of the amazing things that they do.
