For this assignment, I was challenged to photograph someone who inspires me. I chose to capture Lorinda, a caseworker at LifeMoves, an organization supporting families experiencing homelessness.

Through volunteering at LifeMoves, I’ve seen firsthand how much care and dedication she puts into nurturing the next generation of kids. What inspires me most is how dedicated she is to investing in their confidence and growth, helping be a role model and supportive adult for them. She cares for each kid and creates an environment where kids feel valued and encouraged even when its unrecognized. In this picture, we can see how she is taking care of one of the kids on their field trip to the farm, being a source of support and comfort. I wanted my photo to highlight the little moments that often go unnoticed but are so inspiring.
