youthspeakoutint.org“Have kids… and be there for them” – Reggie
Reggie was a youth participant in the Life’s Purpose Youth Empowerment Program held at the Department of Juvenile Justice Palm Beach County Detention Center in 2019. As part of this program, he created a purpose statement, mission statement, and life goals.
Purpose
The purpose of my life is do something great, change my friendship circle, make money, make myself proud, my momma proud and soon hopefully when I get my life and everything straight, have kids so they don’t go through the struggle and be there for them with no street life but an understanding of the street.
Mission
The mission of my life is change my ways, be different, change my circle of friends, get an actual job, surround myself with more motivation and have a better and more understanding mindset.
Life Goals
My life goals are make money in a legal way, work hard and harder so I could achieve and prosper in life and get out and be humble for my past.
