Stay True

When I use to live in a shelter. I was trying to overcome me living there trying to help out the kids that live there. Cause I really didn’t want nobody to feel bad for me cause I knew I can make it out that place without nobody feeling bad for me or feeling guilty. And when I live there I learned a lot cause kids that was there mostly live there all there childhood life and never really had nothing nice they always had messed cloths to wear and I thought to myself before I got here I had ever thing a kid could ever want and loss ever thing in just a heart beat cause I didn’t appericate the things I had so then I thought to myself again I needed to appericate the things I have cause them kids didn’t have nothing. They didn’t have there own bed to lay in they had to share it with there sister and brothers they didn’t have mommy’s or daddy’s to hug or to say I love you to and they never had something good to say. But when I was in that place I had achieve helping kids and telling them how much they mean to this world. When me and my family had that fire we thought we loss ever thing I thought ever thing was over for use I thought we was going to be poor and living streets but my mom be lived in something good and then we moved in the shelter me my mom and my brother I wasn’t happy but I knew this place wasn’t going to make me sad or try to overcome me I was going to overcome it and I did and now look were I’m at got ever thing a teenager could ever want. So I’m happy now. I know if I was thinking negative nothing good would of happen to me. But them kids was so sad and all they needed was a friend to be there for them. I filled so good and happy inside cause I was doing a good deed and I do anything to make another kid be live in them self or make them fill important cause my mom was my friend while we was there. And my mom made me be live in myself so I can do the same for some body else and that was my commitment and my achievement.

You don’t have to be a adult to do big things or to think big or helping out other people
Stay true!

Hi, my name is Mykia China.
A problem in my community that I want to change is the violence and the drugs. T he reason why I want to change that is because theirs is a lot of violence in our community and every day someone is getting killed, raped, murdered, and others things. It just not right how people are getting killed over stupid things and for no reasons. People can’t even walk down the street with out getting killed. It doesn’t make any since people need to make up their mind because it’s just going to come back on you and it’s and you will regret for the rest of your life. Then the next thing you know you’re going to be like did I just do that and you’re going to feeling really dumb about what you did. People need to think about their lives to because you’re taking someone else’s life away when they don’t deserve that. Every day I wonder if I will be one of those people getting killed. But I always pray that nothing won’t happen to me. And that’s one thing I want to change.
Another thing I wanna change is the drugs. I want to change that because people that doing drugs is a good thing, but it’s not. All drugs is doing is messing up your life. Everywhere I walk there are people on the corner smoking and selling drugs. It’s not cute at all. Older people should be setting examples for the younger kids. It’s a bad thing because people don’t even finish school because they are on drugs. Even kids from 4th grade and up are on drugs. It’s just sad to see people homeless or have nothing else to do with themselves.

The one problem in my community I would like to change is I would like to get all of the homeless people off the street and provide housing for them so that they have a place they can call home. I will make sure I have somewhere for them to work so that they could buy good clothes and furniture. I picked that problem because I see too many homeless people on the street ,at the bus stop and down the subways. There are too many people standing in front of the fast food places begging for money but now a day you don’t know if they are really hungry or they want the money for drugs. things I would do to make a difference would be make sure that every homeless person has a place to live . that is what I went to change in my community.

there’s a problem with trash and abandoned houses. I really want that to change. I wish that most people would help me to clean the blocks and tell people to keep it clean. I don’t like it how I go outside and see that my block is dirty. When it’s clean it makes me feel like the block is colorful. It makes me feel comfortable and happy to see that the blocks are clean. To make it different I will create a group and start community serves and have more trashcans around. This will help keep the community clean and more people will feel happy. There’s a goal I wish to do is clean the whole city of philly. I know that the stay true club will help me get the people of philly and help clean.
