Everyone has a dark side in their lives, whether it is a small or big. Throughout our life journey, sometimes we lose our way to a dark night. However, what we are supposed to remember is how nature works. Dr. Bateson pointed out that no matter how dark the night is, the dawn will always come. The crack of dawn will brighten up even our darkest night. This is what Daybreak University always wants to be.
