Once I Walked Up Those Steps…

Its amazing how much the Family Foundation School shaped the life I am living now. My whole purpose consisted of drugs, alcohol and refusing to see the truth.  Once I walked up those steps of FFS, I had no idea how much my life would change, for the better.  I had an easy stay at the school.  I was full of service and charity.  The staff and other students shaped me into who I am today.  I will never have bonds like I had with my friends there.  The school was based on 100% pure honesty and when I practiced that, my life came into order.  FFS introduced me to techniques I use everyday.  Its hard work but they always say it works if you work it.  But my stay did not end right after I graduated in December.  I carried on a new life with what I learned.

There is not one person to thank for my new found life, but a school full of loving, caring, charitable people that want only the best for every new student that walks in the doors.  To me, it wasn’t a school.  It was a safe haven that nurtured me back to health, and watched over me until I knew for certain how to live on my own.  The respect, patience and love that every staff member has is what makes the change in students possible.  Never once was I ignored or hurt by anyone at the school.  All the consequences and problems that came my way were a result of my own personal actions.  Today I am much more mature and life appreciative.  I value every single day for what its worth.  The Family Foundation School taught me all of this and I am forever grateful.
