“I AM CHANGED” Journal Entry Written on 9/11/2008 — A. Scotland, Youth Participant, Afterschool/ATD Program
Being in CCA changed me a lot and made me see many things more clearer. I realized that there are a lot of other after school program that I could have attended in order to stay out of trouble & make my mother more proud. It also made me realize that this is a chance for myself and others to prove they have made mistake in life & still can do better. In life people make mistakes, but what is more important is that people can learn from them. I have made mistakes in life that I am learning from, choose my friends is very important to me because I don’t want bad influence around me. Going to college is one of my achievements that I would like to accomplish because I want to make my family proud & I also would like to enjoy the college life. With my achievement it’s going to take a lot out of me. “Change” is a must & that is something that I have been working on. This program is helping me change & become a better person.
