Four youth spoke out at Community School West Today
Posted by:Lloyd Woodward--Wednesday, November 17, 2010


Sometimes we get down. Sometimes we feel like the world is going to hell in a hand basket. Sometimes we just wonder where this crazy world is going. Just for today I had the antidote for that pessimistic feeling.

Today I was fortunate enough to hear four of our youth speak to a local alternative education high school about the dangers of drug abuse.

Three young men and one young woman (17 to 24 yrs old) shared their personal stories of pain, progression of their disease, and the recovery from drug addiction that each has achieved. It was such an inspiration; I wish that all our readers could have heard what I heard. And the questions and answers later showed that several of the students were moved and that they appreciated the courage and desire of each of the speakers to reach out with a message of hope.

Miracles happen. They happen all the time. Don't loose hope. As long as there is life there is hope.



Note: four spoke and one who is still in treatment was there for support. Special thanks to Patti L and Jocelyn Z for your support made this all possible. Thanks also to Community School West for inviting us to speak again this year.
