When asked, the clients at the Raleigh Rescue Mission responded to my students with some heartfelt and wise advice, straight from life experience:
Stay in school
Be a leader, not a follower
Dont do drugs
Be yourself (meaning not trying to fit in & get involved with the wrong people)
Love your neighbor
Be good to one another
Thats right. We can all learn from each other and help each other. Thats the biggest lesson of all. Class dismissed.
