Katie Cline performs her original poem “My Ground is Molasses”

At the time of participating in This Is My Brave Arlington VA 2014, Katie Cline was a junior at Park View High School in Virginia and was active in sports and after school activities. She loves her friends, family, and cat Miss Kay. Katie has suffered through depression almost all her life, peaking in her freshmen year of high school when she was admitted to Dominion Mental Hospital. Although she still struggles, she is empowered to share her story with those around her to continue to grow stronger and more happy.

"I may just be a single ash, but as we all know - a single ember can start a raging fire, and that is what I intend to do."
