youthspeakoutint.org“Be a better man” – Draco
Draco 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. Below is Draco’s purpose statement.
The purpose of my life is to be a better man and make positive decisions in life so that people don’t look at my skin color as that how every black person act and change how I act so that I could take care of my mom, brothers and sisters so I don’t have them thinking I’m probably somewhere dead or somewhere selling drugs for somebody.
