Student of the Month - July 2011 |
 |
I Am Born Again |  My name is Chazz and I am 15 years old. I’ve been at Rawhide for seven months. My favorite hobbies include football and creative drawing. I really enjoy learning about God, learning new things in school, engineering, and mechanics.
I would like to become an electrician and make something good out of my life after leaving Rawhide. I hope to go to a two-year technical college to obtain an electrician’s license. My dream is to have my own business.
Living in the Aylward House has helped me in many ways. The staff showed me a better way to live my life. Mr. Grant was a resident instructor in the house. He was my mentor for the BSM program (Building Spiritual Muscle). He was a great example of a Godly man; always ready to work, run five miles, or help us through God’s word.
Moving to the Gillespie House was difficult for me. It was hard to see my houseparents, the Smith’s, as well as Mr. Grant and Mr. Adam (another resident instructor), leave Rawhide and go to where God called them. All of the staff were the kind of people everyone should get to know. They were always welcoming.
Rawhide is a good place for kids who struggle with the hard things and don’t want to be corrected. Every kid needs to be corrected in a loving manner by people who truly care for them and their well- being. This is something I’ve learned during my time at Rawhide.
