MY REFLECTION AS A YES TEEN

Coming into the program I really didn't expect me to meet a lot of interesting people, I thought is was a job that me and my friends could work at and get paid together. As the days passed as a 1st year yes teen I started getting comfortable with new people around me and became more involved with all the activities they had planned for me.

My second year I seen myself more excited to work with the people I met my 1st year and the new teens that was coming that summer. I knew I learned a lot my 1st year and I might be able to teach the new teens what I've learned.

My third year in the program I was moved to another group where I had to meet another group of new teens. I felt that it was nothing really to worry about cause I was the older teen and I knew more about the the program than the new teens. I felt that it was meant for me to be moved into another group so I can share my intelligence with the teens.

 The last year for me has came to an end as a yes teen and I feel that I have learned so much in this program that I can take that with me any where I go and teach that knowledge to younger kids. The program really helped me become from a shy teen to a teen that feels like he can go up to anybody and start a conversation with that person. Deep down inside I will miss all the supervisors that helped me become a better person and helped me with good advice about be a mature adult. I will never forget what I  was taught and never forget the people that taught me.
