Wally 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, life goals, and vision board.
Purpose
The purpose of my life is my siblings and parents. I want to show them there is more to life than just the city we live in.
Mission
The mission of my life is to work hard and put my self in a position where I can make money and provide without worrying about dying or going to jail.
Life Goals
My life goals are to get my GED or diploma and pick up a trade like CDL, welding, or HVAC. I also want to buy the apartment complex and renovate it, make it cleaner.
Vision Board
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?
