Strength Based Community Change (SBCC)

Precious’s time in foster care has been tough but has helped her grow. Like many kids in the system, she dealt with constant changes and the hard feelings that come from moving to new homes. Despite these challenges, she has become very strong. Precious learned to speak up for herself, trust others, and stay hopeful during hard times. One of her best qualities is her determination. No matter how hard things get, she always finds a way to keep going. Precious is reliable, creative when faced with problems, and eager to learn and grow. In her spare time, she likes to read and draw, which help her relax and express herself. She also enjoys helping others, whether it’s tutoring younger students or being there for her friends. What makes Precious special is the strength and compassion she has gained from her experiences. She turns her struggles into motivation, approaches life with maturity, and appreciates every chance she gets. Her kindness, resilience, and sense of purpose show her true character and make her an inspiring person.

Precious is asking for the speaker simply because she loves music. It’s something that brings her peace, joy, a sense of freedom, and makes everything better. After everything she’s been through in care, she would like to have a quality speaker who would allow her to fully enjoy the songs that help her relax, reflect, and stay motivated. Music is how she connects with her emotions, escapes stress, and lifts her spirits when times are tough.
