Many of these kids face addiction and alcoholism every day in their own families. This program brings hope and answers to some problems and questions they deal with continually. For some, this is the only life they know; we have the power to show them there is another way through these programs. They really learned that addiction and alcoholism touch every person in an addicts life, but those affected can chose another route and grow to be happy and healthy.
I’m glad I had the opportunity to be a small part of the students eighth grade year. I would really like to thank the teachers Mrs. Cook and Mrs. McKay whose classrooms I took over. I would also like to thank Mrs. Hearne, Mr. Railing, and Mr. Riddle for their support in setting up the program, and Ms. Dianna Vargo for her support and help in bringing these great programs to students who really can use it to better their lives.
Thanks to the kids for acting as a mirror into my past and teaching me that we really can attain our hopes and dreams if we stay clean and sober. Life gets better and better.
