Well I've dealt with horse shit a couple times in my life. One time my tattoo man told me he was gunna be able to come do my tattoo at a certain time and never showed up. It affected me because i felt let down and he gave me a bs excuse to why he flaked on me. Another time i had to deal with horse shit is when someone stole my bike i was so angry because i just bought that bike and a week later i was my so called friend riding it and once again i was givin a bs excuse but little did he know i write my name on the bike so i knew it was mine..........

One of the things that Steve talked about was that its important to be a man of your word. Also to make sure your on time to things. I was really able to relate to that because people have not kept there word to me before. It doesn't feel to good to be let down its pretty disappointing.

the horseshit I had in my life affected me in ways that change a person for the worst. I've been lied to, stabbed in the back, tricked, and mistreated by many people. It made it a bit hard for me to trust to trust anyone and get close. I think no one should treat others with disrespect because then it leads to enemies and bad intentions. I'm starting to trust people again but I look over my shoulder every once in a while. 

Steve said that you as a person should show up and be there when you say you are. So that way you earn respect from the person counting on you. You are not busy enough during the day to take the time and do what you said out to do.

i had my friends back when we went to the movies i didn't wanted to leave him behind so i bough him a ticket he said that he got me .when i was on the run i saw him and i was thinking that he would of have my back by getting me something to eat but he didn't had my back i though that it was kinda messed up.

i got betrayed by my mom because she called the dog team on me while i was on the run.

i was lied too by my best friend because i was stranded in palmdale and he said that he will pick me up and he didn't
so i just stood in palmdale all night intill the next day for the bus.

steves speach changed my perspective.  i want to be a man of my wold i dont want to let anibody down ans i dont want anybody to let me down

I been let down a couple of times in life . Like one time my mom told me she was going to give me some money so I can buy some new shoes . I didn't get the money until like a couple days later, but I was disappointed because I didn't get the money that exact day .I had to change my whole outfit, because I planned on going to the mall then movies . So I already got an outfit that was gonna go with my new shoes . I was mad, because I had to change my outfit at the last minute .

I remember what Steve said that kinda inspired me . He said you should be a man of your word, and if you say something mean what you say . Teo words were inspiring to, I should take wolf connection serious . Not just wolf connection school too &my dream if I work as hard as I did during crappy horse crap job then I believe I can accomplish my dream . I felt like if i didn't do my homework this time I was just hurting myself .

Steve & Teo words inspired me if I say something then I'ma man up to my word, and do it . If take things serious and do what i gotta do . Then I actually believe I can accomplish all my goals, and the biggest thing yet reach my dream &accomplish my dream .

We go through life and have a variety of experiences some good and some bad.  On rare occasions we may experience a very painful incident that emotionally scars us.  Sometimes the pain is so deep it changes who we are or worse, who we want to be.  I have found that until I get to the point where I can think about the incident and not relive it emotionally I have not moved past it, the incident still controls me.  Ultimately the answer, particularly as it relates to other people, is forgiveness.  If forgiveness is not possible and sometimes it isn't, I still need to get to a place where I can move on.  I must come up with a new normal.

I remember being let down multiple times. Being back stabbed by my so called "friends". I had to let go of a lot of people who were just wasting my time and trying to influence me badly. I was to lied to A LOT. This year and the last wasn't and isn't my best. But , i keep my head held high and move on I guess its just a part if life. I was tricked into trusting people then later on getting hurt. But , I take all those life lessons and turn them into strength I am who I am now. Wiser Stronger and I take no BULL from anyone. 

I remember Steve saying to be a man of your word. Life is heavy and you have to do what you promise and give 150 to everything you do. I take in the wolf principals to make myself a better person. Don't give "a half ass job teos saying" to what you said you would dedicate your self to do. If you know how it is to be let down don't let others down. is how i see it

Everybody's words are inspirational and i take them into consideration i know you guys don't say it just because. Thats why wolf connection is so special to me. You guys are so helpful towards us and the wolves.  I am a better person not only because life lessons but , cause of this wonderful program I believe things happen for a reason. Me being expelled from EHS was for a reason but am done with that dirty bad cruel path and now am headed to a better one with pursuing my dreams.

Hi this Philip I couldnt sign into my account so ill be doing my assigment on Pamelas Page.

I have had alot of people leave me hanging. who backstabbed me lied to me and let me down. Am not a perfect person but , i try not to let people feel or go through what i had to go through. My life has been horse shit and i want to change it thats why i joined this program. to better myself. I even had one of my family memembers let me down. Not pretty. I was tricked and mistreated in life.. 

I remeber what everyone said but , i liked Steves saying the most not to sound mean. i liked that he said you should be a man of your word and not let people influence you badly. I have been let down so why should i let down others. I also remeber Paula saying we werent in trouble that there here to help us with life and i appreciate knowing that someones here to help me.

I want to take wolf connection seriously and i will for now on. I want to become a better person. i hope the incident that happened 2 weeks ago doesnt give you the wrong idea of me am truly sorry and hope to graduate with the wolves

i remeber the time i got left hangin,mistreated robbed,it was not fun at all or nice i juss wanted to do bad things to them but i couldnt because i didnt want to get in trouble and it so sad my ex gf had to steal my 150 dollars from me.  and i got stabed in the back before me and freind got caught up and my freind stabed me in the back he snitched on me that was not right ...how all that afectted on me i felt pissed of and so depressed

one of things steve question was to be a man about your word and the way you do stuff that reflected on me someways because i try not to let people down so i can get that respect and if you keep doing what you say your gonna do alot of people will start respecting you so i would want that .

This is what Alex wrote by way of Mr Grady's login.

One time when I was ten I was lied to by someone I cared about.  The person who lied to me was my ex-girlfriend.  She was special to me because she was my first girlfriend.  I really felt like I was in love with her.  What I loved about her was that she give me that beautiful look with her big shiny eyes and her soft lips.  When I was with her I felt like a real man.  The day before she me for another guy I asked her to promise to never cheat on me.  The way I found out was through other people.  I didn't believe the news until I seen it with my own eyes.  I made sure she saw me looking at her holding hands with another guy.  I felt embarrassed, ashamed and stupid as I walked away.

When I was in the teepee we heard that don't even bother with the excuses it's all horseshit because whatever comes out of your mouth are lies.  They also said that if you don't do your homework you will get a crap job.  I believe what they got to say because it is true.  When someone tells you do something and you do not, it is wrong.  Next time Wolf connection will not give us a crap job to do, instead they will kick us out of the program.  I do not want that to happen because I like going and I like the work I do there.  The shoveling horseshit was a lesson I needed to learn.  my final thoughts on what was said applies to life.  if I don't take responsibilities seriously we only have ourselves to blame.  If I do my "homework" like come to school regularly, be in dress code, be positive, work on my temper and complete classwork I will have a better life and get my diploma.

For me dealing with the horse shit of getting expelled from my main school Highland let me down, not graduating senior year with my class of 2014 with all my friends. Losing some friends that I thought were close enough to be considered family. Having to worry about court and what can happen. I can now graduate out of high school earlier then at Phoenix, and can enroll for college in January. I learned that friends come and go and that some people are just temporary. Waiting on my court date and hoping for he best is all I could really do.                                                                    

Paula told us in the teepee that we shouldn't have to feel bad about Teo lecturing us on not doing our work for week 2. And don't consider the work that we are given as homework. Teo saying a crap job was a lesson they wanted to teach us about the real world, because we'd get fired at a real job if we didn't do our assignments.

ive been let down many times in the past. so i can understand how you guys would feel about us just not even taking the time to sign up for somthing when you guys are doing all this stuff to make us have fun and learn at wolf connection

i like what steve said about being a man of your word becuase you wouldnt want people to say that they will help you for somthing but then not do it so why would you do it to somebody else
