My participation in Mirrors Programme has benefited me greatly. With the support of Mirrors staff and volunteers I have fully accomplished the goals that I wanted to over the last 9 months. My goals were: to have a better attitude and more patience, to trust others, and get my grades to a 70 and above.
When I first started I really didn’t like people all up on me and always watching me “like hop off de carriage man.” But i made a commitment to moving forward in my life to accomplish the things I desired to accomplish so I got over it. One of the quotes shared with us during the 6-day residential that supported me in continuing to press forward regardless of circumstances was “The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what we want the most for what we want at that moment.” I used to do that a lot. But I’ve come to realize that if I want to produce different results in my life I must do things differently.
I can really say I’ve accomplished something in life and kept my word. Before Mirrors Programme I would quit when things got too difficult and always tell myself that I couldn’t do things. For all of you young people out there that think your life is a joke or a living hell, come join the Mirrors Programme. The programme staff and volunteers will help you get things off of your chest and get your power back. Trust me you will leave this program looking like your fresh out the cookie jar with a new outlook on life and a fresh perspective on yourself and others. It’s a good program and it’s beneficial

We supported each other through the 6-day course. she had her day when she wanted to quit but she came to Danni and said I want to quit and I said you can’t do this to me if you just helped me stay here boo so we stayed in it to the end for the benefit of ourselves…
