During my time with YJI, a lot has changed about my life. Before I was in the program, I wasn’t going to school. I would call myself in pretending to be my mom. I missed so much school the assistant principal came to my house. I was taken away from my mom and placed with my dad. Tuesdays are A & M Tuesdays (Ashlee – Molly Days). Me and my dad went to family class and then me and my mom did. Being in this program helped me better understand my parents and they now better understand me. The YJI program has meant a lot to me and my family. I am thankful I got a second chance to save my education.
