Lana's backstory provides us with insight as to how her journey of compassion and inspiration all began.

In Lana's kindergarten class, the teacher handed out gold stars for good behavior that could be exchanged for ice cream. There was a boy who sat at Lana's table who acted out all the time and never received enough gold stars for the reward, so Lana gave him some of hers that she had collected. A young Lana could not understand her classmate's behavior but she figured some ice cream might help. The two soon became fast friends and so began Lana's journey of caring about the emotional health and mental well being of others.
