Ode to the Weary Soldier – University of...
I can’t sleep because, I’m solving the worlds problems in the space between my eyes shutting and my dreams or rather nightmares, greatest fears stare at me while I’m awake and while I sleep no rest for this weary soul, just a soldier marching broken, yet whole left foot in front of the right always walking toward the light Can’t sleep because I can hear my heart beat loud now to the...

Why did you want to bring TWLOHA to your school? How did your chapter get started? Marisela and Pamelagrace wanted to bring TWLOHA to school for different reasons, but reasons that worked well together. As an RA, Marisela worked alongside a resident who was having a hard time. She watched the transformation of someone who kept to herself and had a sense of hopelessness bloom into someone who was...

Why did you want to bring TWLOHA to your school? How did your chapter get started?

Chapter Highlights—High Point University
Why did you want to bring TWLOHA to your school? How did your chapter get started? I wanted to bring a chapter to High Point because I think there is a need for a voice of hope and awareness on our campus. It started with a Facebook Interest Group and the work of five dedicated students who believe in the mission and vision of TWLOHA. What has been the most rewarding part about being a chapter...
Chapter Highlights- Palm Beach Atlantic University Why did you want to bring TWLOHA to your school? How did your chapter get started? I brought TWLOHA to PBA because I felt like it would help some people. A lot of times people assume just because we are Christians that we are okay, but that is not always the case. I learned about TWLOHA my freshman year and wanted to start a chapter. After I...
Everyone has a story behind why they support To Write Love on Her Arms or why they are so passionate about promoting our vision and mission. Working with the UChapters over the last several weeks has only deepened the meaning behind my favorite quote from Dan McKinnon: “Consider people are like teabags. They don’t know their own strength until they get into hot water.” Even...

We wanted to bring a place/group of people that would make people feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and feelings about the way these different issues have affected their lives and give them an outlet to help others who may be experiencing or know someone experiencing those same things. Also, as a way to...
Chapter Highlights- Texas Tech University
Why did you want to bring TWLOHA to your school? How did your chapter get started? I wanted to bring TWLOHA to Texas Tech because it’s a cause I believe in and Texas Tech is the community I knew I wanted to share it. West Texas is known for being conservative and very “hush, hush” about controversial issues. However, so many college students—no matter what college it is—suffer alone and in...

Why did you want to bring TWLOHA to your school? How did your chapter get started? I wanted to bring TWLOHA to UCO’s campus because I saw a need for it. TWLOHA is perfect for college students. Being away from home for the first time and the stress of classes and social life can be overwhelming. I saw these issues on my campus, but they weren’t being talked about. So I saved money...

Chapter Highlights- Butler University
Why did you want to bring TWLOHA to your school? How did your chapter get started? I became personally involved with TWLOHA in 2007 after my mom committed suicide. I talked about the organization to all of my close friends and became as involved in it as I could, but I spent my freshmen year at Butler University feeling like I wanted to still do more with the organization. So I attended the MOVE...

Chapter Highlights- DePaul University
Why did you want to bring TWLOHA to your school? How did your chapter get started? Being TWLOHA supporters since Warped Tour 2007, and through seeing the exposure through various other concerts and shows really brought the message to reality. Not only do these issues target people at any age, but college-aged didn’t seem to know the healthy ways of dealing with these issues. From...
