Representative DeAnn Vaught provided students with an inspirational presentation of overcoming obstacles that are often placed in life. Using her own struggles, hardships, and tragedies as examples, Representative Vaught was able to connect with students, and not only serve as an example of never giving up and overcoming obstacles, but how hope can push students through tough times into reaching triumphs beyond their imagination. Through Mrs. Vaught's personal insight of her struggles, she also talked to students about suicide and suicide prevention, as well as the importance of reaching out when we are struggling. She reminded students of the people and resources available to them in order to help save a life. This was crucial as students across the nation are reminded to reach out for National Suicide Prevention Month.
