WOW, this video made me think, opened my eyes and heart. We move around in our daily lives and forget what we dont see as in the boys in the corection system.
Matter fact I feel sad right now because after watching the video, truth is I have never thought of them before. I am sorry for that now, (jail for grown ups) not thinking of our children.
I want to say God works in many ways, this was one of them!
My heart is yours and so are my prayers.
God bless everyone one of you!!!!!

This was an outstanding story! We all make mistakes regardless of who we are and were we come from and we all need to remember this.
I’m Koyukon Athabascan and one of our Values for my tribe is “Respect for Knowledge & Wisdom from life experiences”.
So we learn from our mistakes and we move on and we respect the knowledge we’ve learned from them.
Everyone doesn’t come from a good home enviroment, I spent 12yrs in the United States Marine Corps and I’ve had Marines come from similiar situations and let me tell you. Almost 99% of them only needed someone to take an interest in them and to show them that they have someone who has their back and these guys ended up being stellar Marines and I was very honored to serve beside them.
“Hope” comes in all shapes and sizes in all forms and it goes a very long way! So hats off to the Coach, I’ve got mad respect for him! My thoughts and prayers go out these boys and all children that need a little extra love!
Semper Fi!
