What 1 Feel Project Impact Has Done For Me <br />The day I found out about Project Impact my heart was filled with praise <br />and hope, it was as if God had sent the answer to a much needed <br />prayer. The newspaper article in which I read from about Project Impact <br />stated; that there was help for people with issues in their lives just like <br />me! Being an ex-gang member and ex-felon became an obstacle in my <br />life. <br />My life has been full of trials and tribulations, not only for myself, but <br />for my family and loved ones as well. To make a long story short, I took the wrong path <br />in life. Being a runaway at 12 years old, and having no supervision from an adult I made <br />a lot of bad choices. Not having any money, I began to steal, lie, and cheat just to eat <br />and have money. Then I began to use drugs to absorb the pains of life. This vicious cycle <br />I kept up for years, doing the same thing expecting different results. <br />When I came to my senses, I had been convicted of the crimes I had committed during <br />this cycle and was on my way to prison, where 1 spent time! Being released in 2000, I <br />have changed my life. Leaving the past behind, I was determined to be the best that I <br />could be. Landing a job and everything going well, I decided to try to move up the <br />corporate ladder. This caused the company to run a background check; I had been <br />working for 10 months with no problems, no tardiness or absences, but nothing <br />mattered when the results from the background check came back, l was dismissed! <br />This made me realize that my past was still a part of my live, and had placed barriers <br />that I didn't know how to penetrate until I got involved with Project Impact. I've learned <br />a lot more about myself through Dr. Monroe's "Beautiful Mind Classes", I've also <br />started at Vincennes University studying C & C, and I've began to set goals in life for <br />myself. Before Project Impact I felt limited in life, now my outlook is on life has changed <br />and I accept life, on life's terms. I no longer feel that I'm less than the next person, the <br />insight and training I've received has better prepared me to become a better person and <br />a B.E.E.T (Best Employee Ever Trained). <br />Thank You Project Impact <br />Belinda Johnson <br />
