About (request update)

I aspire to work with youths who have been affected by poverty, violence, and neglect. I want to work within the juvenile justice system, foster care, school, or a dentition center. Some youths are on the verge of giving up on life. I want to be a spark that starts a fire in them so they will see they are worthy and have a purpose. Once they believe in themselves, greatness will happen.

Reading, writing and anything that I can create with my hands.
