I cannot begin to explain how immensely the Honor Academy has impacted my life. The HA helped me grow as a leader and learn how to handle and persevere through certain situations that I came across when I returned home. The daily application of growing and helping others grow has been a big theme in my life as I mobilize youth in my sphere of influence. It’s been about four years since I left Teen Mania and to this day, not one week goes by where I don’t go through something that I’m able to persevere through or learn from as a result of what I gained in the Honor Academy.
My time at the HA provided me with work skills in communication and as a result, I have been blessed to work for Verizon Wireless. The training I received at Teen Mania equipped me to work where I am at now as a bilingual tech. representative.
On the ministry side of things, the HA prepared me to be mobilize people by strengthening the youth and helping adults to open up. It also gave me the tools to do this effectively and bring people together to remain focused on the same mission.
One final big part of my life that I am truly thankful for is the amazing friends God has blessed me with from the Honor Academy, as well as the mentors that spoke unforgettable words of truth and wisdom into my life. I continue to be filled with joy whenever I hear news about the Honor Academy. Thank you for everything.
