Legacy Center Foundation’s Teen Leadership helped me break out of my shell. I am much more open about things now with my parents and friends. I used to battle everything inside and never let anyone in. This would leave me in a bad mood 90% of the time. The stress was unbearable and i drive me crazy. Now I make my problems known and handle them as son as I can. I let people in.

Throughout my life, I’ve always just followed what everyone else was doing. When I did Legacy Center Foundation’s Teen Leadership, Program many things changed for me. I realized that I don’t need to follow the crowd. Following the crowd it not what life is about. There isn’t any point in trying to be like everyone else, we are all unique anyway.

After completing Legacy Center Teen Leadership (TL), I gave back by staffing the program. Staffing TL was amazing. It’s a great feeling knowing I’ve made an impact on someone else’s life. I really enjoyed watching some of the kids come through Teen Leadership and watch how they changed from the beginning to the end. Staffing Teen Leadership is a phenomenal experience, and make’s me excited for the kids in the program and their future. Knowing they left feeling good and confident is great. ♥
For me, the most valuable parts of Legacy Center Foundation Teen Leadership was when I got clear on who I get to be in the world. It was like I had the chance to start over. That is now what I live my life by. I now have choice. I am a strong, passionate, beautiful, caring, young woman. Whenever I feel unsure or nervous about something, I have choice about who I am and who I am is the first thing that pops into my mind. It calms me. If I ever feel lost I now have tools to get me connected to who I really am in the world.♥
