So I was like, OK, I'm just going to give my testimony because I felt like God was telling me to do that.

So I started talking about my dad's suicide.

And I just told them, like, that's the worst thing that you can do to your family.

You know, it's something, it's a different kind of death.

It's not a natural death.

It's a kind of death that breaks everything.

the people that love you.

And if you think people don't love you, then I love you.

You know, we love you here at Greater Vision Academy.

And it's just something that, you know, I never want any of our students to face or do.

And so...

I was just speaking and I honestly, I don't remember everything I said.

And I was, you know, given scripture and we had the chapel.

And then after I was done, this little boy, I call him a little boy, but he's an eighth grader.

He came up to me with tears in his eyes and he said, your chapel really touched me because I have been having suicidal thoughts.

And he said, I have been bullied.

You know, I don't feel like that I am happy.

just worthy of living.

And my eyes teared up because of what he was saying.

And he was so sweet.
