Bea's Kids after school program gives young kids tutoring and a safe place to be during the peak hours of violent juvenile crime (between 3:00-6:00 pm). Once a month the North Dallas chapter invites a key speaker to talk to the youth as a "Wednesday's Winner". I was honored to be the January speaker, and talked to the kids about my "path to success" and the importance of education and staying in school. I also talked about setting goals and believing in yourself. When I got there everyone was writing a letter to President Obama, and what they wanted to see him change. The kids there ranged from 1st grade through high school juniors. There were several volunteers there helping them with their homework which ranged from math to writing. Helping kids become positive impacts on our future is something that I am so passionate about, which is why it was so rewarding for me to speak to these children and share with them my experiences!
