During yesterday's Reflection, we talked about the power of choice, free will, and those things in relation to tomorrow's Halloween festivities. We talked about making good choices-- not doing the things that give teens a bad reputation on Halloween.
We noted the egging, the hazing, and the torment little kids see on Halloween. Our teens pledged to be helpful, rather than harmful on Halloween.
The questions they answered in yesterday's Reflection are displayed on hands in our hallway. They serve as a reminder to use their hands for good, rather than mischief.
1. How did you use those hands to lift someone's spirit?
2. What do you offer your friendships?
3. What do you aspire to become?
The need for good decision-making does not end with the Center. The teens talk about carrying over the values and lessons learned here to other parts of their lives. It's such a huge success for us.
We seek to help these teens, and it's clear that we are helping! Though, it's not just a success for us. These teens are making better choices, and displaying personal responsibility in a serious way.
We are here to help them find those positive solutions to problems.
The progress and growth is entirely attributed to their positive, personal choices.
