My name is Zayn Malik. I'm gay and have been every since I could remember. I'm 22 and I'm an interne for National Children's Mental Health Institute. I knew helping children was what I wanted to do so I joined immediately after high school so I could start as soon as possible. And here I am at 22 years old. I know what it feels like to be neglected, alone, hated, self-conscious, bullied, suicidal, punished for no reason, violated, helpless, hopeless, abandoned, parentless, misunderstood, and unloved. I was angry, sad, confused to why my life had to be that way. Why my family just never cared. I know it is hard to overcome. I had no siblings for that much needed comfort. I know that feeling is so hard to overcome. And it can push you to the edge so many times. It did for me once. Luckily, I see now, I wasn't able to take my life. Because my God had so much more for me to accomplish. To help others who had a rough path just like me. So after high school, I joined this institute that helped trouble kids. They're prime goal was to save these kids from there past horrible lives, show that someone cares, give them the help and love they need, and show them there life is precious and that they can accomplish so much more than what other lead them to believe. They trained me for 2 years and I gave all my time to learn as much as I can. Surprisingly, this is the first time the institute attempted something like this and it is my goal to make it be a first-time success. I'll be helping rape victims, abused teens, bully victims, parentless teens, suicidal teens, struggling teens, teen addicts, violent teens, teens who've lost loved ones, depressed teens, I mean the list could go on forever. It's why I joined the program. To help kids with their past and set them with the right mind set to go on with life happy.

I got a classroom. It's a regular classroom in a regular high school. And the kids come after the regular scheduled school lets out. Classes are from 3:45 to 5:30, Mondays through Thursdays and on Saturday. Their ages range from thirteen to nineteen. I will help and care for every one of them. My mission is to use that time to change these kids' lives. I know I'm going to love these kids with every inch of my heart. But nobody told me I could fall in love.
