 relationships in their communities, we give them what they need to thrive. I was fortunate enough to form relationships with community members like my track coach, Tanya, and others from my church. And over time, they became the people who filled the role of my family. What they've given me, taught me, and how they have guided me has been invaluable. If we want young adults to learn self-governance, they need to be taught skills for their adulthood, and they also need caring adults to continue to guide them into adulthood.
