"A Torchlight For Change" My Story and Advice to At-Risk Youth

Why do our young men continue self-destructive behaviors? Society has identified that young men who grow up in a home without a male presence or adult role model to lead them into final manhood is destined for a life of academic failure, minimum waged employment, and will become a strong candidate for the penal system. It is a story of parental love, dreams of soaring in space, playing professional sports, serving a nation and ultimately serving God's purpose of sharing those lessons to our youth. I believe that in my advice to all youth, especially young men, there is a light glowing in undiminished hope for each one of them. A "Torchlight" in the middle of a young man's secret mind. All we have to do is open their eyes and have them turn the page to read. Tracy Maxwell
