Today we laid to rest a young lady, who was shot to death last week. I didn't know the young person, but as I interacted with the, over 500, guest to her funeralI learned a valuble lesson.
Luckie, as she was effectionately called was only four months from graduating from CARDOZO Sr. HIGH SCHOOL, and was excited about becoming a Metroplitan Police Dept. Cadet. She wanted to do something, and serve her community. As I said earlier I did not know her, but over 500 people did. They confirmed who she was. Now, it was revealed that Luckie was not always working towards her goals. She was still luckie, but she was not working towards positive goals. She was not headed in a good positive direction. Something happened in her life, that turned her around, what? I don't know. But for at least the last ten months she was turning things around. GOOD FOR YOU LUCKIE. God Bless Your Soul.
The lesson here is no one is ever beyond turning things around in there life. Were also taught to never give up on our young people. They are valued, needed and appreciated.
Very powerful, the way you wrote about this. She was doing something good, no matter the stage of her life and circumstances. And I agree - we need to appreciate our young people no matter what. Thank you for sharing.
