Lil Nic 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.
The purpose of my life is to change the way I used to think and things I did to better myself.
My life goals are when I get to my program and get my gpa up and when I get out graduate. I want to turn the odds onto my side.
The mission of my life is when I get out of my program I’m going to talk to my homeboys and to motivate them so we can change our ways together and better ourselves. If they don’t then I’ll fall back and get myself right.
If you are a visitor, please share your thoughts and encouragement here. If you are a youth participant, how do these statements continue to influence your life today?
