Brandon is a member of the P.A.T.H.S program of Long Beach California and joined us for the day.

The day has been great. I really enjoyed working with the people from New York. First I started by being interviewed by the Peers kids. Then I went to San Diego with the group and was given the opportunity to interview. I really liked it. In my community there are not many youth that try to do things to change the world but these teens do. Boy how dynamic and fulfilling it is to see it. Knowing that somebody some where is taking and interest in today’s youth and trying to help us cope with the problems that plague today’s youth. Traveling with the group has given me the chance to see what it really is about. What it is about is working to make a change, to change the world. I really appreciate what this trip has done for me. It has changed the course of my life completely. Now I know what is real and that I can. I love everyone I met and can not wait to get a chance to go to New York and observe more closely what the youth there are doing to change the world. We as youth can and will do it, we will persevere.
