I admire Coni. She was there to comfort me the first hour I got here and reassured me that everything was going to be alright. For the five days I've known her, Coni has inspired me to feel myself again. She shows her true emotions and tells everyone the truth. For example, today in group Coni had to walk out of the room because someone had pulled a string in her heart. She isn't here because she gets paid, she's here to care; to get us off the ground and baby step our way into the real world again. Coni is an inspiring woman and I couldn't be where I am without her. She's helping me mentally; slowly healing me. I don't know how I could thank her, but I am absolutely grateful that she helped me in only five whole days. Coni deserves this award because she's honest, compassionate, inspiring, considerate, and lovely. Coni is a true inspirational role model and I wouldn't be the same without her.
