I think our second visit to the detention center was a lot more promising than the first. While I had a good time with the kids I talked to during our first visit, the Post-D group seemed much more willing to participate in our project. Mitch and I paired up with a Post-D student during the visit. He told us a story of when he first got into basketball and how he grew to love the sport, and other sports, because he had a good friend who played with him. When talking to us about his dream life, he mentioned that he wanted to be playing basketball in college. One thing that really stood out to me from the conversation I had with him was how much he had already thought about his future. He had thought about jobs he could get and colleges he was considering applying to and even mentioned that he had a bank account set up for the money he got while working in the detention center. He seemed intent on moving past this point, and getting his life back on track. It was a very encouraging conversation, and I think it’s a good sign for the rest of the project.
