As a recent college grad who had moved here for a job, Renee was hungry for community. “At that time I’d lived in Columbus for about a year, but I still felt new here,” she explained. “Going to Breathe was an opportunity to build friendships.” Renee moved to Columbus for her dream job, teaching deaf kids. According to Renee, her journey from an indecisive freshman at Eastern Kentucky University to an educator in Columbus was lit by a string of neon signs God placed in her life. So far, life in Columbus was pretty good. Sure, Renee felt isolated from time to time because she was still putting down her roots.
