My Yes Teen Experience

Summertime Science
My experience of becoming a YES teen has been a great experience. I got a chance to try new things and also a chance to learn new things. Being a YES teen is great .I got a chance to show my true self. The YES teens here are like family. When I first came here they made me feel welcome like Deshaunya, she is like a mom that I never had and that I always wanted. I thank her for that because she is a great friend when I need one and she is there when i need some one to talk to. She is a great person. This is not just a job it is a loving home. Us YES teens learn new things everyday and we have fun while we are learning. This is a good program and I am glad I had a chance to be a teacher.

Traivon it's great to hear that you have been enjoying your experience as a YES Teen. I'm happy that you like being a YES teen and that the other teens here at the program make you feel comfortable-allowing you to be yourself. Traivon, even though you caused problems in the first few weeks you and I definitely build a strong bond because I wanted to make sure you understood that I am here to help and challenge you but only if you're willing to let me. Words cannot express my gratitude, but I'm glad you allowed me to be your friend and act as your confidant because it's extremely important that everyone has someone to talk to, listen to them, and just be there for them in their time of need-glad it was me! You are welcome and I know you appreciate everything I do even the tough love I have to give you to show you that even though I care some things are NOT okay. You have come along way and I know that this is your home away from home-this program keeps you out of trouble and because of your journey here thus far you have learned how important it is to take responsibility for you actions. Continue to give your best Traivon and enjoy the rest of your summer!!
