It’s the New Millennium. Magic
is believed to be nearly gone. We are often confronted with only
Styrofoam, plastic and the free flow of the net. It’s a time when prayers
appear to be rarely answered. It’s a time of harsh punishments, cruel
reality and neighbor blindness. It’s a tough time here in The
Heartland.
For those who are sinking, there is
little hope. Those who are “at risk” are often isolated and shunned by
their community. It’s a bleak and fearful time here in The
Heartland.
But wait… I believe I see some
hope over there in Rantoul. For young men and women who are sinking, there
appears to be a program that does more than evaluate, patch or punish. I
believe I see a service that salvages the lives of lost youth. It’s a
program that rebuilds lives of young adults within the structure of military
basic training.
Lincoln’s Challenge Academy
works! I’ve seen the lives of lost youth regained. I’ve seen this
program plant the seeds of successful dreams in the minds of young adults who
were once lost creatures waiting for their time to run out. I’ve seen
wasted lives find the road to success and then take a walk on it. I’ve
seen hopeless young men and women find hope for themselves. This isn’t a
minor achievement. It’s a dream we have all wished could come
true.

The Lincoln’s Challenge Academy
program is carefully designed to take the young cadet from a hopeless, harmful
life style to a road full of opportunity and rewards. It’s a tough road
with losses. It’s a residential program with drill instructors, tough
daily structure, a lot of physical activity and absolute obedience
required. Sometimes more than thirty percent of the young adults can’t do
it and are released from the program within the first two weeks. The
ending Lincoln’s Challenge Academy graduates may constitute more than a fifty
percent loss from the original group.
Think you could be successful in a program
like that?
