Community center teaches good practices

Wesley Community Center
In 1988 I began attending Wesley Community Center in Robstown.
While at Wesley, there were many good beginnings that never ended for me. Friendships I formed at Wesley at age 2 still exist today, and most of us graduated from high school together in 2004. We are now in our 20s, and one friend is even with me at Texas A&M University-Kingsville.
At Wesley Community Center I learned that God is important in my life and to pray before my meals at the table. That good beginning has never ended.
Today I am involved in church activities, singing, and helping with the youth and young children. I’ve even taken what began at Wesley with me to college, where I am a part of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Baptist Student Ministries.
Values that I have in my life I discovered at Wesley. When I joined the Wesley family, I became someone very special, a Wesley Kid.
I learned all my basic life skills—how to socialize, how to be a moral person, how to care for others. I learned my colors, the alphabet and all about reading. That good beginning never ended.
I am now an employee of Wesley Community Center. I, and many of those same friends who spent the year 1988-1989 with me at Wesley, will graduate from college in 2009. I will take my good beginnings with me wherever I go.
Wesley Community Center has many success stories, and my friends and I are living proof of the good beginnings that never end.
