PROTECTOR “The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer.” 2 Samuel 22:2 Joey came to Eagle Ranch struggling with anger, disrespect and defiance. As he has worked through the program, Joey has learned more about understanding his emotions, sharing his feelings and is applying himself in school. “Since Joey has been at Eagle Ranch, he has been able to be a teenager,” said his Language Arts teacher Ms. Duren-Witt. Being able to step back from the crisis in his life for a season has allowed him to be a kid again. Joey chose a unique word that represented himself: protector. Joey cares for people, fights for those who can’t fight for themselves and sticks up for others. "I like to be different,” said Joey, “I'm a strong leader with a strong voice." Joey and his natural leadership abilities have shown through at school and at home, where he likes to use his leadership and his voice to help other people. “With the experiences I’ve already had so far in my life, I can put myself in other people’s shoes a lot easier than those who haven’t struggled as much. I like standing up for people.” “I care for people a lot,” said Joey. “With the experiences I’ve already had so far in my life, I can put myself in other people’s shoes a lot easier than those who haven’t struggled as much. I like standing up for people.” Joey is currently in the leadership program at Eagle Ranch and is learning how best to use his gifts as he continues to work through the Eagle Ranch program.
