CASA stands for court appointed court advocates and is a program that has been created to stand up for children in the foster care system and to help them fight for a safe home ("National Court Appointed).

As well as how I cannot take things for granted because others are less fortunate and they do not even have the opportunities and amenities I am able to have.

Danny Thomas once said, "Success has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It's what you do for others.
