WHAT EDGE MEANS TO ME!

17Feb10

 EDGE means a lot to me.  Some people took “me and my homies” for a joke when we signed up for the EDGE Program.  Without the EDGE Program I would not be here today.  I have been through a lot just through school and the streets and I am only 18.  Who would have known that a person like me that has been in trouble, could still graduate on time.

 I plan to go to college and represent the EDGE Program with full effect.  I am going to graduate from college and take my life to the next level.  My past is behind me and my future looks brighter than ever.  Sometimes we gotta do what we need to do to get where we need to be.  Ms. Fran didn’t give up on me when I gave up on myself.  Plenty of times I thought, I’m not going back to EDGE, but she kept calling me and encouraging me to finish what I started.

A “BIG” thank you to Ms. Fran and the EDGE staff for motivating me and believing in me.  I love them from the bottom of my heart for being there for me. There is no place like EDGE and if you are serious about your future, this is the perfect place to start.
