Through Our Eyes: Youth Testimonials

“Before In The Field, I was in and out of juvie and barely going to school. Now I got goals, a job interview, and I ain’t been in trouble in months.”

  “Ms. Micah helped me find my voice. I used to yell or stay quiet—now I know how to speak up without getting locked up.” 

 “She talks to me like I’m a person, not just another bad kid. I wish I met her earlier, but I’m glad I met her now.”

“At home, it’s always loud—fighting, yelling, stress. But when I come to In The Field, it feels like peace. It’s like I can breathe here.”

When I started with In The Field, I was angry at the world. Now I’m helping my little brother stay outta the same trouble I was in.”

 “Micah taught me how to speak up instead of fight. I still mess up sometimes, but now I think before I act.”
