Unit 1 IP Project 2

Rationale for choosing the topic Part 1.

I’ve chose the topic “The Change within the Youth Center that Target Youth in Care”. I made a choice for this topic because one I have the experience with working with youth in care and two I love young people and I am a believer that no matter what your past hurt have brought you, you can still overcome those obstacles. I have always been a hands on case manager who not only take pride in her job but who also encourages her youth to do their best and pushes them no matter what. Having someone believe in our youth in care goes along way due to the fact that majority of the youth in care never experienced someone believing in them let alone showing care; all because the odds was stack against them. My motto to my youth is “ I GOT YOU”, that is what I tell each of my youth that while also showing them. Many may not have been there for our youth in care or showed they cared but I will be that change amongst them. Its hard enough being young nowadays and living in America and then tackling on the fact that a large number of our children/youth are in care because someone didn’t want them, the system failed them, parents couldn’t provide the level of care needed, and/or parents was so caught up in the life of substance abuse than the whereabouts of their children. So forgive me if I display too much passion, but this has to end one way or another and through the help of my youth center we will be the most elite youth center that every was created within the United States.
