Get Ready for March

Hey BTC Young Adults,

Well we have two days left in February and need to get ready for March. Guitar Hero was the highlight of the month for me, if you missed out I'm sure we will have it again. The month of March will be pretty cool, on March 12th we are going to New Market Square and March 26 its LASER QUEST! As usual if you need any support with education get in touch with me and we will see what can be done.

Have a great weekend!

Shaun

GUITAR HERO!

Dont foget that Monday February 23rd is Guitar Hero Night. If you have any questions or need top set up transportation call Debbie or Shaun.

Hope to see you there.

Poetry Wanted

Young adults are encouraged to submit up to 2 pieces of poetry for an upcoming benefit, the Independence Update Breakfast. Please gear your poetry towards living with a mental illness. This is a wonderful opportunity to raise funds for Breakthrough programs and relay your talent and perhaps educate and raise awareness. The deadline will be the second week in March by the 12th, and deliver them to Jen Root.

Final Friday, Guitar Hero and Jen's Random Thoughts

What's up, yo?

Nothing a lot here, just chillin' up here at Breakthrough. OMG!!! JEN IS AT BREAKTHROUGH!!! Yeah, I know it's a shocker. I am like rarely up here. It's probably because I sleep all day and stay up all night playing my Xbox 360. [[If you have Xbox Live, you should so add me. My gamer tag is xxniferxx]] Anyways...I have been coming in more. I jacked the car from my mommy today [[I can drive again, YAY!]] and I am out job hunting and I just stopped in up a Breakthrough and just hanging out!

Anyways...there is a lot of exciting stuff going on here at Breakthrough this month. There is one thing that I really, really want to emphasis and that is Final Friday. Breakthrough is hosting Final Friday this month. I personally am going to be showing some of my art work. It would mean the world to me if you all could come and spread the word. I am really trying to get my name out there in the art community here in Wichita. If you don't know, art is a HUGE part of my life. I use it as an outlet to show my emotions and its also one of my coping mechanisms. It's Feb. 27th and the reception starts at 5 pm.

GUESS WHAT! I gots accepted at Wichita State. I am so friggin' excited. I am going to get a B.F.A. in studio art with an ephasis in drawing and painting and I will be also minoring in psychology. From there, I am going to go to Emporia State and get my master's degree in Art Therapy.

Oh yeah, on Feb, 23th the young adults are having a Guitar Hero party thingy here at Breakthrough. I absolutely LOVE Guitar Hero. It's one of the games that I stay up for hours and play on my 360. I am pretty good at it, I can play hard [[well most songs]]. So if you think that you can beat me, be here the 23th to battle me!

Welp, I think I am gonna head south and go home. I am uber tired [[I have been up since 1:30 yesterday afternoon]] and I am gonna crash 'til 3 and go pick my mommy up from work.

Later, yo!

Peace.

A poem of encouragement by Raven

Live and Learn

You feel all alone.
You feel the pain within.
You want to escape it all.
But you know you can't.
You reach out for help.
But you can't find anyone.
Then finally you find someone.
Who can help you.
And give you all the help in the world.
And find your love within yourself.
And realize that you aren't alone.
There are people all around you filled with pain.
But all you have to do is reach out and lend a hand.
And you will never be alone again.
You will soon learn that once you love yourself.
Everyone will love you too!
