“I believe in every person lives a story
- a gift that can inspire and invoke
change. It has touched me to hear and
see those stories, and I hope that by
writing these words and wrapping them
in the design of these pages, that they
will touch others too.”

“Finding equilibrium in how we would present
the 2016 edition of CARIMAC Times to you
meant pushing ourselves to points, which at
times, felt like the brink. Mounting a magazine,
from scratch, is more than a full-time job. It
becomes your life. And in striving for perfection,
we ensured that the end results would be the
closest representation of what we initially set out
to accomplish. We dreamed big, and hopefully
at the end of the read, you will too.”

“Completing the tasks of investigating
and writing both my stories required
time and willpower. There were external
commitments and distractions, but
sacrifices had to be made. It was hard
but my dedication prevailed. And in the
end, it was definitely worth it.”
