- Story: Engaged

Your mom, only a few feet away, finishes a conversation with a staff member, turns to you and says…
“Honey, you ready to go?”
Honey. She hasn’t called you that since you were a kid. That feels like a million years and a thousand arguments ago. There are fewer arguments these days, if any. Granted, you’ve mostly talked to your mom with letters and phone calls in recent months, but your communication has changed. So much has changed over the months you’ve been here.
With each week at Momentum and every day during Graduation weekend, things are getting better. You know you’re happier. You feel like you now have a sense of direction, too. In this time, your relationship with your parents has definitely improved.
Your mom is more patient and understanding; and you feel like you are, too.
She puts her arm over your shoulder. “Let’s get going”, she says. You tell your mom, “Just a minute, please.”
You turn back to your friend. You feel the tears welling up. You’re not sure when the next time will be you’ll see your new friend.
Your friend grabs you for a hug– you never used to like hugs, either, yet another thing that has changed– and she says “see you soon”. You hope you do see her soon.
You turn towards your mom and begin to walk the path back to the car. You can’t wait for what paths the future has in store for you.
Make this your story.

At first, the idea of Trails Momentum might seem intimidating or even overwhelming. Change is hard.
