Shanel Poole has been through enough pain, struggle and disappointment to become bitter, angry and cold, but that’s not the direction she chose for her life.
I have a soft spot for people who care about other people. Not in an abstract way, but in a tangible, put-your-money-where-your-mouth-is kind of way. Where your passion is helping others, and you will sacrifice your needs for someone else — who isn’t related to you. I get it when it’s your children or parents, but when you have a heart for strangers and treat them like family, those people are different. They’re special. And I’m awed by them.
“I prayed, ‘God, if you don’t do something tonight, I’m going to kill myself,’” Poole said. She was 18 and driving in an unknown neighborhood. “I was determined I was going to self-destruct.” “G.L.A.M. is designed and G.L.A.M. is owned by the girls,” Poole said. “They know everything belongs to you. This is your program. Our job is to go over for you and beyond and that’s it. Every single thing I learn I give to the kids.”
