I have been in and out of the system since I was 12 years old.

I had an extremely rough childhood.

I would like to say a few words about the

Wraparound Program

until I got involved with the Wraparound Process.

I never knew who I was or who I could be

I am 21 years old now, with a four year old son

as a single mother

discover myself

and have helped me realize that I am a good person

My facilitator and team members have helped me

as long as I believe in myself.

throughout my whole life.

and also taught me skills that I can use

Wraparound has given me help through a lot of troubles

that I have had

Thank you.

I am very thankful

and it is most definitely something I would

recommend to anybody! that I do have Wraparound

At that time I was placed on

home detention status

I was referred to

juvenile services in September 2011

During the month of October

I was removed from

home detention

Freedom

and placed on tracking services due to

outstanding behavior

attending school regularly, reporting to my tracker on time daily, and

remaining drug free.

I have been working with my

mentor consistently

I was in the local

newspaper in October for my interest and efforts in the

boxing program introduced to me by my

mentor.

I have proven I can take

accountability for

my actions

and am interested in continuing

on a new path I have created for

my life.
