South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting –March 5, 2010 <br /> <br />6. NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />D. Airport Economic Development Area <br /> <br />(3) continued… <br /> <br />me a chance Project Impact did. When no on <br />else would listen to me Project Impact did. <br />Had it not been for Project Impact I would <br />have been in jail. Thank you, Pastor Blake <br />and Project Impact Staff. Project Impact keep <br />up the positive and spiritual work. <br /> <br />Belinda Johnson: The day I found out about <br />Project Impact my heart was filled with <br />praise and hope, it was as if God had sent the <br />answer to a much needed prayer. The <br />newspaper article in which I read from about <br />Project Impact <br /> stated; that there was help for <br />issues <br />people with in their lives just like me! <br />Being an ex-gang member and ex-felon <br />became an obstacle in my life. <br />My life has been full of trials and <br />tribulations, not only for myself, but for my <br />family and loved ones as well. To make a <br />long story short, I took the wrong path in life. <br />Being a runaway at 12 years old, and having <br />no supervision from an adult I made a lot of <br />bad choices. Not having any money, I began <br />to steal, lie, and cheat just to eat and have <br />money. Then I began to use drugs to absorb <br />the pains of life. This vicious cycle I kept up <br />for years, doing the same thing expecting <br />different results. <br /> <br />When I came to my senses, I had been <br />convicted of the crimes I had committed <br />during this cycle and was on my way to <br />, where I spent time! <br />prisonBeing released in <br />2000, I have changed my life. Leaving the <br />past behind, I was determined to be the best <br />that I could be. Landing a job and everything <br /> 65 <br /> <br />
