Recently, we sat down with two of our awesome teens, sisters, and asked them how RHK has made a difference in their lives. This month we share what DK, the older sister, had to say and next month, we will share from her sister.
Tell us a little about yourself.
DK: Hi, I’m a Senior in high school, and I’ve been coming to Rock House Kids since I started 8th grade. I started coming because my cousin convinced me to come.
What keeps you coming to RHK?
DK: I come because it gives me an opportunity to build a stronger relationship with God, meet new people, and make new friends. I love the adults here. They are really caring and show lots of love to us. Rock House is a safe space for me, safe for anybody. I also want to give a special thanks to Miss Dee for being there for us. She is there to help us get a better relationship with God and help us with our personal problems. If we need to talk to her, she is always there to help us or just be there while we vent to her about school, life, or whatever. I know I’ve needed a lot of venting, too. She’s definitely someone I can talk to, and I want to thank her.
What plans do you have for the future?
DK: I love Rock House Kids, and it will always have a special place in my heart, even when I leave after graduation. I plan on attending Texas Southern University (Houston, TX) and majoring in criminal justice to become a lawyer. Eventually, I want to start my own law firm. I know that’s going to take some time, but that’s time I’m willing to give.
How has RHK made a difference in your life?
DK: The things I’ve learned and the skills I’ve acquired here I’m going to take with me when I leave because Rock House is my second home. It has improved my life, and I can’t let all that go to waste. It’s made me who I am today. Keeping these skills, traits, and all the things I’ve learned here will help me become an even better person.
What is one thing you have learned at RHK?
DK: No matter how many bad things you have done, God will always forgive you if you ask for forgiveness and put Him first. Even if it takes you some time, He’s still going to love you no matter what.
