you're doing is examining,
you're not living.
Time is the most valuable “Commodities.”

supervision make sufficient
changes in their lives to avoid
committing additional
criminal activities.
A Probation Officer response when asked,
What do you do?
“ I intervene to prevent the recurrence
of crime among juvenile and adult
defendants and offenders by supervising
them and getting them the help they
need to change problem behavior.”
--Probation Officer
Noble Purpose
Quote
“ Don't ask yourself what the world
needs. Ask yourself what makes
you come alive, and go do that,
because what the world needs is
people who have come alive.”
- Howard Thurman
