Jimmy and I are putting together a story on how Beth had depression and what she is doing now.

During 1980, Beth became depressed and it wasn't just her in her family that was depressed, her father was to who died a couple of weeks ago. But during this time she told her parents that she was depressed. She became depressed at age 32 and she knew, later on, she wanted to speak out to human services and homeless shelters on how they should not keep all this stress and all these bad feelings in and talk out about them and give other people hope. Hope was one of her main mottos hope because she has told herself this all the time because depression is a very strong thing and she gives herself to hope and hopes when she speaks out to other people she gives them hope. Then later on in her life, on September 11, 2001, 9/11 happened and she thought this was the turning point in the world. She thought that the world was a better place without as much terrorism and bombing but after it was like that. Still today she talks to a lot of human services and gives hope to those people in need.
