“I helped the kids in the high school color guard with their work and drill, as well as helping with a sectional before practice. Helping the color guard is always my favorite pastime. I love helping them because I owe so much to the guard. I honestly had so much fun co-coaching these kids during the season. It has strengthened my leadership skills and it helped me bond a lot with the kids. I have also gained coaching skills that I can use in the future. Jo Ann Hall has really changed my life and made me a strong and responsible young man. I can’t thank her enough for helping me. I will continue to help them into the near future.”

“The power of the human mind is truly breathtaking. The mind itself can adapt to any situation it is put in and can give the power to the rest of the body to survive. The most amazing thing about the mind is that with all the power it has, it still takes nearly 20 years to end growing. While it is growing your thoughts can completely change from one year to the next. Any troubled child can completely flip a switch in the matter of a year due to the power of the human mind and possibly a little help from others. This is what my goal is with volunteering at Boys and Girls Club in FDL. It has taught me that there is no such thing as a bad child, there are just children that take a little bit more time to mature. When I see children like this, that tells me they are vulnerable to all types of things, good or bad. So, I must be the one to guide them to the light of success. Volunteering at Boys & Girls Club is by far the best decision I have ever made. It has truly given me a new meaning to life. Those kids are my meaning of life. I would do anything to protect them from any dangers and I am 100% certain that I will do everything in my power to let them know there are dangers in this world, but also so much love all around them, and that is what matters most. I am so grateful that because of the Promise Program having these requirements I now live a different life because of it. A much happier life.”
“Congratulations Brett! Thank you for being an amazing mentor for our kiddos at the Boys & Girls Club, this is a well deserved award!!”
