“When you don’t give up, things will eventually change for you.”
Kevin is a guest of the Rebuild Center who is currently waiting to be placed into a permanent supportive housing program. Here are his responses to the question “What gives you strength and encouragement to carry on?”
“I have realized that the past struggles that I have experienced are not put there to hurt me – but to show me who I can be as a person and to learn from those struggles. Also, I realized that nothing remains the same in life and that it is important – in the midst of struggle – to carry on to the next phase of my life. I have a strong motivation to carry on. I know that if I don’t give up and quit, things will eventually change for me. I believe that there are 4 steps to creating positive change I want to see in my life:
Placing myself around positive persons
Winning the trust of these positive persons
Opportunity will come your way through associating with positive persons
After opportunity, then progress will begin. Where there is progress, there is hope.”
