While I sit back and think about things that occur, I have to say that change has to come for my youth. I sit and talk with people all the time about how as a young lady I see things that need to change with the way we think and the way we handle things. I see that there is no more foundation in the homes and that the youth are acting out for attention of any kind. I say that this maybe because are babies are having babies and not giving themselves time enough to be a child before they have to play the role of an adult.
I have taken a pledge within myself to help the youth move forward. I see the struggle within them. I see that they want to learn different ways and want someone to help provide a backbone for them. So I plan to one day turn this into reality and help the youth move in a new direction. So I am here today to write my profession of change.
I believe that we can change and move forward; and no one can take that belief away from me.
I believe that if we take our time with the youth and provide for them things that they are not use to then this can encourage change. This kind of change will not happen overnight so the people who are working with the youth have to be patient and understanding. They have to allow some setbacks and teach them that with setbacks you have to push forward so that you can catch up to where you where meant to be.
I also believe that this place that will provide this change should grow and expand so that more youth can be affected. This way the program can provide more positive ways for the youth to grow and tell others about it and want to get into the place of change.
I believe that once this program is up and running and the youth are proving they can change then this will take place all across the city.
I believe that if we have people in our community that is committed to the youth then they will see that there are people who care about them and wants to see them head in the right direction. They will then learn that they can have trust in someone who will not let them down but will not always be around so they have to learn to believe in them.
I say if we all come together as a community and put foundation back into the youth then they have no choice but to move forward.
Now with all my beliefs come my disbeliefs. I have to share them because I believe a person has to no both sides of the story before they can fully understand you.
I do not believe that the way the youth is today is the way they will stay. People like to say that certain things can’t change and that what is going to happen is going to happen. Well I believe differently and I say that things can change if you want it to. Change has to happen within the person first before they can learn to change their thoughts and actions.
I do not believe that this program will fail if all the people in the program want to make it a success. So you have to make sure that the people want to make a change and be successful. They have to be positive people who can change themselves. You will be surprise how helping someone else might cause a spark in yourself and help you make a change.
It is impossible to say how this will all take effect. You have to have realized that some negative things will take place in all this change. There will be people who will not be so excepting to change and think that this will be a waste of time. You have to push those people and thoughts out your mind and continue to move on. Then you have to know the type of youth you are working with so that you know how to treat them. All youth are not the same and they will require different things but in the end you are still looking for the same results and that is change. Change is something that in time will happen and this will happen giving it some time for change.
