This Thursday morning, I have the pleasure of speaking to the whole student body and staff of East Middle School in Brockton MA (about 600 people) about the dangers of drugs and alcohol. I will share my story, my life’s story of my abuse, with young children who’s minds are still at the innocent stage of life and hope that my story will direct them in such a way so that they can make better choices and/or decisions when confronted with the pressures of experimenting with drugs and/or alcohol. I am honored to have this opportunity and grateful beyond belief!!!!!!!!!
