The RTF weekend was great. It was so exciting because all my emotions were flowing free. Being one of the seven j-men on the trip was fun because for once the adults had to listen to us boys; or I mean men, hahaa :). I felt so relieved from hiding my true self and with the boys to men program, I can act normal and not put a mask and act like someone that I am not. I love the fact that everyone listens to me when I speak, unlike other places. I was so happy to see all my homies, my friends, my whole family again. I have one word to express myself with from this weekend and it is... AMAZING :)
