I HELPED HIRE OUR NEW PROGRAM COORDINATOR, JOI!
By Antionette O’Neal
I joined Ms Natalie for an interview, and I asked certain question to the person looking for a job. I asked question like were their things and activities you did with the children you worked with. But my main question was being a DCFS worker were their children who needed help with problems. She was a nice lady. When I saw Ms. Natalie, I ask did the lady we interview with DCFS lady coming? I forgot her name. When I saw her, I was surprised with myself I helped her I was surprised I told my training counselor He was proud of me, and I was proud of myself because that was something I never done before. We like Joi.

LOUISE
THE ART INSTITUTE
By William C. the third
It was Saturday January 25, 2025 where me, Marcus, and Rachel Smith from Rose Center all said our presentation. And then when it was my time to say my slide, Whitney forgot And then she had me say the other slide that I was supposed to say. The purpose of this presentation was to teaching the 40 people what people with disabilities can do. My favorite part where this girl was in the wheelchair ever since she was 9 years oldshe’s a grown woman now - and she was dancing in the wheelchair. After the presentation, we looked at some of the museum art. I looked at every paper of what the kids was writing, how they was feeling about “I am the Power of Love.” That was my favorite part. But my number one favorite part was looking at Jeremy Fray’s book. I think his book was talking about how his mom taught him how to make baskets. In the Game Room, the lunch was amazing. We all ate lunch at the Game Room. There was two guys. One looked like ZZ Top. One guy did not look like ZZ Top. The guy that did not look like ZZ Top said I had to play against the winner, and he beat me fair and square. I told him that was a nice game, shook his hand, and we all left.

SUICIDE HOTLINE: 988
By Alex
If you are someone who’s depressed or feel like they hear voices or don’t want to live, or if you know somebody, let someone know Or if someone is really really sad and going through stuff and feel like they don’t have no one to talk to, don’t hesitate to call. Because everybody matters. Cause everybody is here for a reason. There’s kids who do that stuff and they shouldn’t have to feel that way or go through it, and parents should’ve have to grieve their kids and go to their grave I lost two people to suicide My one friend, her birthday is this month, but she took her life in March. And then my other friend, I knew him 16 years from my old agency. He took his life on a home visit He hung himself No one should go through that
