The Maurice Lucas Foundations has overall taught me to work hard for what I need. I have come a long way from being a talkative girl to now knowing my limits. I can look back and see the difference in success. I have dedicated three years to this program because it has motivated me each year to stay on a good path and not feed into temptation. It has brought structure to my school and sports.
