Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan

Shoplifting advice? first time
My question involves criminal law for the state of:

Ok, this sounds stupid to some, and serious to others, but my friend and I got caught shoplifting together. I personally was stealing 2 granola bars, and my friends was stealing a mouse for a computer. We were caught, yadda yadda and send via mail a note saying that we need to go be interviewed to see if we qualify for some voluntary probation program. Is this the only thing we are doing is voluntary probation? its been 3 months and those are the only papers we have recieved. ALso, what is this interview about? Is it to make sure that we're not hardcore criminals and see if they want to accept us or not? or is this something where if they see my empty background and that fact that I have worked 2 jobs for quite some time and done well in school, they may drop the charges and send me home?

Idk how this works?

P.s., I'm a 17 year old and from Michigan. I was very compliant and gave them everything they needed and apologized a million times. I'm not sure if either of those will help in your answer

After you foolishly confessed to committing a criminal act without the advice of an attorney, you want the advice of an attorney, right?
