Testimonials from SSAY!

Respecting Yourself and Others
“I was raised by the three R’s. My grandma kept them on her wall. Respect yourself, respect others and respect your space. Respect has the biggest meaning when we love ourselves then we can respect others and others will respect in return.

Making Right Choices
Making the right choices is very important because every decision you make leads to consequences and have results that will affect you negatively or positively. Some people don’t think about the decision that they make which may leads them into situations that they later regret. My goal is to live life intentionally.

I am Somebody
I am somebody because God loves me and He loves me for whom I am and not for what I can be for others. I am somebody because God doesn’t make junk. I am here for a purpose otherwise I would not have been born, therefore, I am somebody. I am somebody because God has sent people into my life to help me understand that I am somebody and I am loved.
