Hope House has a tradition where the Director of the Hope House and his wife hosts the girls that are taking 10th and 12th-grade board exams on Valentine's Day
The objective of this tradition is to lessen the examination stress on the girls and to help them understand that our support is not contingent upon the results but their desire to pursue education. This year we had hosted three girls (two 12th graders and one 10th grader)

We are always looking to expand their horizon of thinking so on this Valentine's Day, we took them to a barbecue restaurant where they have 'all you can eat' meat. For all three of them, it was a newer kind of experience.
During the meal time, most often we end up laughing a lot talking about their entire stay at the Hope House. Chinthamani literally came in when she was in the first grade and now she is ready to leave after finishing 12th grade.
Towards the end, the mood becomes somber and serious as we talk about the future ahead after the 12th grade and leaving the Hope House. It is the most difficult part of the evening but they all come prepared so they know how to handle themselves.

Both of our Valentines have made up their mind to pursue careers in healthcare. We wish them all the very best as they look to stand on their own feet from now on.
