We have come this far as a member of CLP. We are so close to achiving the commitment we made about 7 months ago. I am so proud of what we have done and also recognize that we have some ways to go. From the get go, I commited to all the workload that would come along with joining CLP. There was a time when I felt overwhelmed with all the work that I questioned my commitment. I was putting so much time and effort into getting GrassROUTES together that I neglected my schoolwork. As far as I was concerned I made a commitment and I was going to see it through completion.
The reason I keep coming is not only because I made a commitment though. I keep coming back because I believe in what we are doing and because that the youth deserve it.
At the beginning I didn’t see how much time and effort the youth put into CLP. But after being around them and working with them I realize that they are willing to do whatever it takes to complete what we have stated as a group. Seeing them work so hard motivates me to continue doing what I’m doing.
I sill give up on what we have started because I feel that we are in this together. And even though others may not recognize just how much work we put into CLP, we know the workload and we can keep each other motivated.
I am rededicating my time and effort so that we can complete what we have started.
