Correspondence – Sheryl Dirks, Superior Court of California

Rich,

As I see your posts and the kids you’re celebrating with, you’ve brought new meaning when I think of the word “coach”. I always thought it meant coaching some sport, but you are truly a life coach.

If more people would do what you’re doing it would stop the horrible direction so many of our youth are taking today. My heart breaks for the pressures they feel trying to grow up nowadays. I’ve watched this unraveling of families in the courtroom for four decades now. In speaking with some adults who have turned their lives around it is almost always someone stepped in and “saved” them. I don’t necessarily mean that in a religious sense although sometimes that comes the way for them too.

If every adult even chose one youth to mentor as you have, what a difference it would make.

God bless you and all you do.
Onward and upward, Rich.
