MiddlePath- Thank you so much. I think it was more of a beautiful thing for the teacher to have this idea. I felt it was a zechus to be able to speak and share my experiences. In addition to speaking, she asked me to bring my guitar, so i was also able to show the girls after i spoke how you can be frum, and still stay you by using the abilities HaKadosh Baruch Hu gave you. I think I came away more inspired than them. And I wish you all the hatzlacha in the world trying to use your own experiences and helping others. I can see from what you write yourself that you definitely have the abilityto use your experiences to help others.

Coffee addict- Good for you! It really changes your perspective when you think about it that way. Maybe after davening, strike up a conversation with someone. Maybe they just need some inspiration. If they see you concentrating on davening and then making an effort to reach out and act like a mentsch, they may really take an interest in you.
