How MVP Changed My Life

MVP changed my life by showing me that gangs are not the solution to my problems and that gangs don't take me anywhere. The only solution to my problems and the way I can accomplish my dreams is by using the values that Frank taught me. The values are the tools that would help me become a successful lawyer and a great person. MVP helped me to realize that life in the big world is tough. MVP also helped me realize that people in the world only care about money. That's the main thing that people love. They don't care about us kids' education. The thing that makes me stay in MVP is the love that Frank and Monica has for each and everyone of us. Also because MVP teaches us the way we should go and if we make a mistake that would be okay because no one is perfect in the values; and if we make a mistake we would learn from it and it wouldn't happen again.

MVP is a loving program that cares about kids like us who are having problems and helps us to accomplish the goals that we want to accomplish. MVP opened my eyes to see the true meaning of love and the positive things about me instead of the negatives.

MVP also made me feel proud of myself convincing me that I could become a lawyer. MVP filled my heart with love and with good values. With the love and the values it helped me spread the values to my family, friends, and to my parents' friends' children. When I tell them about the values and about getting away from the gangs, I feel like I am making a big difference to people.
