Alexis is 21yrs old and lives in Nevada. She started in the Teen Guidance Program when she was 15 and is now in our Transitional Guidance Program.
Alexis is ONE of the members we are most proud of for her turn around and accomplishments through the programs. At 15 she was about to drop out of school, had family issues, body image issues, self confidence issues among other things. By just giving her someone to talk with, 24/7, without judgement or worry of getting in trouble for things she said, felt or did, she was able to start correcting and addressing some of those issues.
We turned her grades around and not only did she graduate, but she received acceptance letters from colleges! We helped her see her own beauty as well and not what society or “mean girls” were telling her was beauty.
Alexis recently commemorated the moment at age 15, while talking to her guide, when she realized she did want everything her guide was telling her she could have. Happiness, success, a better life, in a tattoo, which can be seen on our Facebook page.
Alexis continues to better herself and continues to makes us proud. We feel that Alexis is a shining example of what the Guidance Programs can do for teens or young adults if given a chance.
