%X During the past 3 years I have been visiting youth detention facilities to provide instruction on basic life skills. Two events discussed here encouraged me to get involved to help make a change. During my visits I continue to be struck by the discouragement and hopelessness of each of the youth. It touches my heart. I encourage them not to feel sorry for themselves and tell them they are not alone; there are people who want to help them. I emphasize that their lives can change, that they can have hope
