Phoenix Rising
by Ashley Roberts I don't know why the image of the Phoenix is something I embraced, but it spoke to me and the anxiety I was feeling when it came to advocating for my child. There are times I'm energetic, driven and possess a "nothing will stop me" attitude, yet there are times when I just wish it would all stop being so hard. I mean, it's infuriating! It's not like we as parents are asking for much. We approach this institution which we are taught to hold in high regard
