“I learned that strength comes in different forms. I learned when to take the lead, and when to follow. I learned about Joplin’s history. I learned how to mudd walls and prep them for paint. I learned how to cook a traditional Nigerian meal. I learned what strength is.” 

-Joplin ASB Participant 2012
