Jennifer is tired, so tired, of slogging through what feels like quicksand to keep her family going, always feeling defeated and overwhelmed. She longs for purpose and fulfillment in her life. She wishes she could hear from God. But how to break free from patterns of negativity, feeling less than and burned out? Her name could be Jennifer, or maybe it’s you who’s trapped in an unhealthy cycle of perfectionism, procrastination and people-pleasing.

Founded more than 110 years ago, The Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) has had a long history of training America’s next generation of leaders through its high school programs. Although sponsored by the United States Armed Forces, it’s so much more than a possible steppingstone for a military career. JROTC is better described as a character development and citizenship initiative for youth.

The deflated expression on the rescue pup’s face caught his attention. 27-year-old Mike Morgan looked at the Brindle sitting forlorn in her cage at the George Brown Convention Center. He’d come to the August event to adopt a furry family member. But he didn’t want to make a hasty decision – no puppies – too much work. With 6,000 animals available at Houston’s mega dog adoption event, which one would be his perfect match?
