Hamilton Right Track Graduation – A parents perspective/speech.
Good evening, My name is Warren, I am Michael’s dad, best mate and support person.
A month ago eighteen lost souls met for the first time on the steps of the Hamilton Courthouse; during the course of this programme I have seen those eithteen develop and become knowledgeable young adults.
Along this journey there have been moments of l…aughter, moments of tears, but mostly moments of realism and accountability.
I think these same eighteen are leaving here tonight with a greater understanding of what the consequences are of making the wrong decisions in life, what it will mean in their future, not only for themselves but for those around them.
To all you young people here tonight, I want you to ask yourself this…. when you go back to the court to complete your sentencing, and you’re standing in the dock, think to yourself… I shouldn’t be here… I won’t ever be here again…. this is not who i am…. now I am on the Right Track.
Thank you
