 As I see myself in the future, I will become a leader in our community, maybe not in politics or anything like that but in ways that I’m good at. I feel like I’m helping to keep children off the street by being involved with CASE. I can help other children believe that they are also special and show them that there’s always another way out besides joining a gang or doing drugs. Those things will just kill you in the end.
