School Story: |

Most is a blur, don't remember alot of you, due to my own inability to handle reality without substances :< However all that has changed :>) I've been clean and sober for over 24 years :>) Grateful to Mr Clendenin for helping me turn my life around and teaching me to give back to this world, one person at a time. |
