Reaching Your Dreams

Over this past weekend I had the greatest time! The 2nd Annual Back to School Connection hosted by Rev. Doug Cuthbertson of Honoring God in Ministry and Gaston Chapel A.M.E. Church took place Saturday, August 13, 2011. "Project Tomorrow" had the honor to host a booth called, "Reaching Your Dreams." Ciara Felder and I came together and created a welcoming and encouraging booth for our youth. We surrounded our booth by Goal setting. The kids came by and we taught them about goals and what they were and how to set them, then ultimatly reach them. We were amazed at not only the quantity of kids that came and participated, but at the goals that each kid set for themselves for the upcoming school year. They made stars and decorated them until their hearts could take no more. It was such a joy to see kids young and old have the motivation and desire to set goals for themselves. They motivated me beyond words. This was such a great event and I was so proud that "Project Tomorrow" was able to be a part of it. This was the "opening" for "Project Tomorrow" and definitely not the last of it. Be on the look out because there is so much more to come! This event taught me that goals can be set and reached at any age and to never give up on yourself. If you believe in you and your dream, then anything is possible!
