Practice Makes Perfect

So I went back to a local shelter where I have been talking to the children about the importance of their future. They are all at the age where this tough time they are going through really makes them grow up faster. Because of this I want to make sure that they stay focused, and motivated so that they can be the very best of their potential. I hear so many people say, "oh they are hopeless because of their background, nobody leads them in the right direction, and due to what they are raised in they have no future." THIS HURTS MY HEART SO BAD. It is not true. I am so thankful God has led me to be a role model to these kids, because they really do pay attention. Every time I come to visit they eagerly sit down, and are so polite and full of questions! The other day I shared good people skills, as well as how to speak, stand, posture, etc. I then sat down with them to hear  THEIR dreams! The children really painted a beautiful picture in my mind of how focused they were on their goals, and motives. One kid wanted to be a Psychologist so he could he could help others. (Sound familiar?!) Another wanted to be a football player for the NFL not just because he loves the game, but because he wanted the opportunity to be a role model, and DONATE money to children who needed it. Another girl wanted to be a social worker, to prevent children going through a hard time such as she had to do. All of their dreams were so planned out, so unselfish, it really was beautiful.

Each girl received a crown, because everyone was a winner. Also everyone got goodie bags for working so hard, and being so eager to learn. Another Successful day!
