Veronica’s transformation has been a journey of resilience and growth. There was a time when addressing her mistakes would elicit a disrespectful response. However, something beautiful began to unfold within her. She started learning to listen, to exercise self-control, realizing that change wasn’t an insurmountable challenge.
In my guidance, I often emphasize the importance of taking a moment to breathe, encouraging them to refrain from speaking if it isn’t something uplifting. Through these gentle reminders, Veronica and others are learning to navigate challenges with grace and respect.
One significant source of strength for them has been their spiritual journey. Seeking God and participating in the youth group have proven to be powerful catalysts for positive change. Veronica, in particular, has found solace and inspiration in nightly Bible readings, fostering a deeper connection with God that has translated into positive shifts in her behavior.
