When a stranger approached me and said, “Do you believe in miracles?” I very likely would have responded negatively. Then, later, something in your life causes you to want to doubt all you had previously believed. For me, that day was March 7. I had recently shown 4 images in class when I gave the presentation on March 6. On the day of the exhibition, I intended to display, at the very least, ten images. I was worried. When I chatted with Luke at KUSCO, he invited me to meet his co-workers the following day. I had the chance to meet many of his buddies when I visited there. I brought the prints of the earlier photographs I had taken with Luke. I believed that doing this would make it simpler for me to encourage others. And so, it was. On that day, I created about 7 pictures with 7 different workers. Even better, I got to meet Sandra, the cleaning department supervisor, who introduced me to a few of her co-workers. In addition, she allowed me access to private areas so I could diversify the project. That day, I photographed the majority of my project. I would not be where I am today if I had given up hope on March 6. Thus, have faith in the procedure and do your best. You’ll be blessed with luck and a miracle.
