My friend Derek

This is Derek.
How much he would brighten my day in highschool was a huge factor in choosing the DSW program.

Most days we spent sitting and reading together or going through his math book.
After he watched the "Charlie bit me" video he would always say to me in an accent: "ouch Carli, you bit me!"
I found it funny everytime.
If he ever felt sick at school he would come to me just looking for some care. He was such a teddy bear.
I remember the day I officially decided this work was in my future. I had a terrible day and was standing outside my school holding back tears. Derek came up to me at that moment, just wanting to talk, just being his joyful, beautiful self...I was then fine. This is how I knew.
