| What ASPIRE MEANS TO ME |
|
My experience with ASPIRE has been one to remember because it has exposed me to a lot of positive things. This program has taught me everything I need to know on how to be a responsible young adult. Learning about being abstinent is what the program is basically dedicated to and also getting the word out to other teens around the area .The ASPIRE program not only taught me about being abstinent, but also taught me how important it is to get out, meet people and try new things.
I've met many people from around the Halifax county area thanks to Project ASPIRE. Our trips to Maryland, Atlanta, and New Orleans gave me a great experience to life outside of the North Carolina area. They were all things that I never thought I would get the chance to do, the etiquette and leadership trainings all were great bonuses to the program. ASPIRE helped me think of a better future for myself and makes me want to further my education. A big THANKS goes out to Mrs. Jordan for giving me this great chance.
