When dealing with at-risk youth it is imperative to develop balance and harmony between choosing activities which are liked and why they are liked. Understanding why a particular activity is liked should be pursued and connected to what you do and why you do it. Living by choice then is the knowledge of ones needs and desires; being able to take responsibility for ones actions; and through future visioning create an action plan for achieving the goals of choice.
Troubled teens generally do not set realistic goals or have dreams for a planned future. Quite often dreams are snuffed out by negative conditioning or what’s being repeated in their lives through peer pressure or negative family situations. Dreams end up being living by chance. How often do you hear a teen saying “I’ll take care of that when it happens”? When it happens is too late! Youth should be taught living today for the rewards of tomorrow and the decisions that are made today can determine what the future holds for tomorrow.
From my experience I hear troubled teens all the time saying that they will become “rappers, football or basketball players and make more money in a day then what I make in a year”. “My response to them is that this might be true, but the competition for these positions is great and it’s limited. There’s only room for so many rappers, football or basketball players. What are you doing now to stand out and make this a reality?” If living by chance, reality will always fall far short of the dream.
DREAM your dreams. PLAN your future. DO it now!

Cuando se trata de jóvenes en situación de riesgo, es imprescindible desarrollar el equilibrio y la armonía entre las actividades de la elección que se gustó y por qué son gustaba.

Vivir por elección, entonces es el conocimiento de las necesidades y deseos, ser capaz de asumir la responsabilidad de las acciones, ya través de la visión futura creación de un plan de acción para lograr los objetivos de la opción.
adolescentes con problemas no suelen establecer metas realistas o tener sueños de un futuro planificado. Muy a menudo los sueños son arruinadas por condicionamiento negativo o lo que se repite en sus vidas a través de la presión de grupo o las situaciones negativas de la familia. Los sueños terminan siendo vida por casualidad. ¿Con qué frecuencia se oye un adolescente diciendo "Yo me encargo de que cuando ocurra"? Cuando esto ocurre es demasiado tarde! Los jóvenes deben ser enseñados que viven hoy en día para las recompensas de la mañana y las decisiones que se toman hoy en día se puede determinar cuál es el futuro para mañana.
Desde mi experiencia he oído adolescentes con problemas todo el tiempo diciendo que ellos se convertirán en "raperos, jugadores de fútbol o baloncesto y ganar más dinero en un día, entonces lo que gano en un año". "Mi respuesta a ellos es que esto puede ser cierto, pero la competencia para estos puestos es grande y es limitado. Sólo hay espacio para tan muchos raperos, jugadores de fútbol o baloncesto. ¿Qué estás haciendo ahora para destacar y hacer esto una realidad? "Si vivir por casualidad, la realidad siempre están muy lejos del sueño.
Soñar sus sueños. Planee su futuro. Hágalo ahora!

An Evaluation of Motivational Mentoring 101

Howdy. I had an unexpected back problem this weekend, so I had plenty of down time to read the eworkbook you wrote. I enjoyed your insights quite a lot. Your experiences with the young people are similar to those of a man in Omaha, so I could relate to your viewpoint. And I think it is exactly what you said it was – inspiring, helpful and thought-provoking.
Because of the kind of person I am, or the way I read, it would have helped me to divide up the great thoughts into smaller subsets. For example, maybe one section is called “communication”, and then a number of pages or worksheets are included there. It seems like you have one such section “strategies”, but you could have more J. One final comment is that I would also ponder a ‘flow’ to your book. In my mentoring resources, I usually start with - what will the beginning of the relationship look like, and how will it develop; and then I work along a progression to what it might look like in a year, or two. My experience is that most adults never think about the process or how to get to a point or concept. You have all the “right” ideas – but I’ve found that prospective mentors need more help.
Great stuff, which I can tell is born from long, difficult circumstances. The beauty is being able to tell others about your experiences and hopefully give them the help they need. Thanks for allowing me “in” the conversation. Blessings,
John Parsons

National Youth At-Risk Conference (NYARC)

If I had to pick which workshop I enjoyed the most at the NYARC it would be the one by Dr. Stephen Sroka, "The Power of One". When the session ended he hugged just about everyone who attended. He even hugged me twice! "Heart to heart"! What a way to inspire!
The Urban Leadership Institute's (Baltimore, MD) co-founders David Miller and LaMarr Darnell Shields were extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and in harmony while presenting their workshop titled " Keeping Our Eyes On The Prize: Engaging Boys of Color". Their enthusiasm grabbed your attention immediately and kept it throughout the entirety of the presentation. They clearly suceeded in in reaching their goal of Focusing Youth Service Providers how to engaged and understand the many difficulties that Black and Latino Youth face everyday.
