Katie is ready to be off probation.
"I hate the fact that I know I'm being watched," says Katie.
Lily wants to break away from stereotypes.
"My mom got pregnant at an early age and so did my sister. So everyone thinks 'oh she's going to do that to.' So I have to really overcome that," says Lily.
They admit they've made poor choices in the past.
"It's not a horrible decision, but I've made some bad decisions. Like stuff I don't really like to talk about," says Lily.
"I could have made better decisions, but I didn't. It was basically me thinking I'm grown, I can do what I want, but the reality, I wasn't grown and I should have listened," says Katie.
Both girls are on probation for skipping school.
"I don't like getting up in the mornings and before I didn't really like to interact with kids," says Katie.
But they're learning through Mission Possible that those decision won't define them.
"Any bad situation you can change to a good situation," says Katie.
Through different activities, these teens are required to set goals.
"I definitely want a good job. I want a family and I want to be able to support my family," says Lily.
They have hope for the future and their probation officer Wade Temple is seeing a difference.
"One girl in particular, Katie, she has come so far that she is just about ready to be taken off probation," says Temple.
He is confident the changes will stick for Lilly too.
"When the school year starts she's going to do well and she's probably going to be off probation in a much shorter time than if she hadn't gone through this program."
Mission Possible was created specifically for teens like Katie and Lilly.
"We give them hope and let them know that what they've done in the past does not have to affect what they do in the future," says Volunteer Coordinator, Cherri Peate.
Because the past, is the past, and by choosing to be part of Mission Possible, these girls are taking their first steps towards a better future.
