Grateful Teens

Watch these  positive teens sharing how they are grateful for their parents after just two weeks of wearing a Grateful Ring and learning the Grateful Curriculum

My grateful ring experience was indescribable. To wake up every morning, sit still and just focus on why I am grateful and what does it mean to be grateful was really great. It helped me start a new daily routine for myself. Sometimes I forget what I am grateful for. What I learned throughout this experience is to continue to be grateful for every moment in my life. I need to be more grateful for the good, bad, happy and sad moments. There shouldn’t be a dull moment in my life where gratitude isn’t expressed or shown. One of the things I am grateful for is my Savior that died on the cross for me. I can’t express any more gratitude about that. It’s an indescribable feeling when you think about someone who died for your sins. Another thing I am grateful for is my life. Throughout my life I’ve had rough patches. High mountains and valleys came daily that I needed to go through; nonetheless, I am grateful. I wouldn’t be where I am in my life if it wasn’t for those crooked roads and dark nights or even the happy days. Every moment for me is unforgettable being that I had an age expiration date for my life. Lastly, I am truly grateful for my parents. Without my parents, I truly don’t know where I would be, what I would be doing if I didn’t have their support, encouragement and love. My parents are my life and I appreciate them daily. My ring will be passed to my mentor Shakeema North. I want to pass my ring to her because she entered into my life at a difficult time for me. I was going through a lot at the time and she came in my life, lifted me up, encouraged me and never left my side. She may be far by distance but I can always pick up the phone and call her. I am truly grateful for a youth pastor/mentor that loves me, appreciates me, guides me, lets my light shine and is dependable. I don’t know if I would be doing half of the things I am doing as far as church is concerned if I didn’t meet and build a relationship her.- Bri-Sha  18 yeats old

Assisting Juvenile Probation
As the Juvenile Civil Citation Program Coordinator, we utilized the Grateful Ring program curriculum that was offered for our first-time offenders- practical tools for real-life success. This proactive character education program helped our first-time offenders build character, develop leadership and offered ways to create a positive community. After the six one hour sessions, the Civil Citation kids reported the skills were so important that they could not understand why they were not already taught in traditional education. After the program, they reported a better understanding of managing their emotions and thoughts and were quite enthusiastic about how they were going to change their lives in the future. One offender was able to connect with his parents and share a plan that he created to live out a new vision within his life. Another one of the offenders not only learned the power of meditation but began to teach his family and friends the power of meditation. The teens reported learning skills and tools to manage anger, guilt and social pressures to conform that will help them to forgive themselves, make better choices to ensure not reoffending and understand how the brain works to form a vision, foundation and be a role model for good. Even myself as a 28 year Law Enforcement Officer attended the program and learned new skills to live a better life. As we know, all behaviors begin with the thoughts we form each day. Teaching our Civil Citation kids how to take control of their thoughts and emotions is one of the most important solutions to building a better community. Thanks so much for your consideration and hope we will partner in the near future so we can give kids a better life and be crime-free. 
Sincerely, Cpl. Patti Holt Juvenile Civil Citation Coordinator
