life has been a struggle with myself growing up in the system moving around not being stable
whatsoever. I never really had an opportunity to program like this so when I got the opportunity I
took it even without knowing anything about water I just took that leap of faith. Well being in this
program it showed that there are people out there that want to see us succeed and excel in life
especially as people of color. This program has also given me hope to a long term career and
an education
I plan to leverage the program for the future community by mentoring and visiting group
homes and foster homes to spread the word out to allow the teens who are aging out of the
system know that there are people who care and that want to see them succeed and that they
do have a future. And that there are opportunities to have a long term career and to finally be
stable and to get the support that they need to excel and prosper. They would have a long term
career that will set you up for life not having to worry about the future or where they're headed.
