The past few weeks I have been preparing for the share program. Share is a program for inmates to share their stories with girls at girls homes or halfway houses for troubled teens or girls that are basically on the road to prison. I get to share my story and encourage them with a message. My message is about self-worth. I always tried to find my identity in drugs or boyfriends, but I always felt worthless until I found my self worth in Jesus Christ. So I”m going to encourage them to discover for themselves who they are. The second half of my message is about determination. When I was in High school I Decided I didn’t want to go to college. I didn’t want to live in the dorms – I didn’t want to go to school period! And sure enough – two years later I dropped out of college. So if I could set my mind to do something destructive for myself and then do it – then I can set my mind to do something good for myself and do it. Be determined to do good things in your life and then do them. That is my message for the girls. I will write more when I start going on the outings.
