Happiness is a feeling or state or well-being and contentment. When sitting down with Dan Rhoton, the Executive Director of Hopeworks in Camden, NJ, he said, "I have the best job in the world because I get the opportunity to enhance and change people's lives. I am an extra in an inspirational movie everyday. You could make a movie about any one of these youngsters and it would be a blockbuster!"

As Dan explained, Hopeworks' mission is to give teach, inspire, and support many young people, helping them grow and thrive in the midst of violence and poverty. Placing these youngsters into Fortune 500 companies allows these individuals to prosper not only financially but gives them the practical and professional skills needed to move on with their lives. And as Dan was speaking he had this radiating glow that illuminated his face, soul, and spirit... Truly his purpose and his spark is continually being lit and undoubtedly his passion for what he does has be found and defined!
