Nothing Excellent comes Easy

Though this is my third year to intern with Project Transformation, this is my first year as a site coordinator. I realize now that it is harder than it looks. As many familiar faces walked into the youth program on the first day, I realized that they looked to me to lead the program. I realize that it was up to me set the tone and the atmosphere of the program. I started off the week very energetic, however, by Thursday of the following week, I felt as though I had exhausted all my energy. As I filled out the necessary paperwork, I noticed that a new kid had entered the program each day. Attendance for the youth program, which has always been a struggle with Wesley Rankin, was growing. Kids were choosing to come to this program when there were other choices out there.

On Wednesday of this week, during the program, I looked out the window and saw a big group of middle school and high school kids fighting. Police came eventually and they all ran away.  I am happy to say that none of the youth in my program were involved.

Though I know the work sometimes is difficult, I know that nothing excellent comes easy. I pray that God continues to give me the strength to lead a program that transforms the youth in this West Dallas community.
