I became ill in my childhood. My journey into recovery has been due to my belief in God and my supports at ADS Center of Hope, the teachings and taking my medication. Sports like baseball, basketball along with art help me have fun. I received a gold medal in the Special Olympics. Church has been a great help in my journey of recovery. I love my art to be shown at the Capitol and especially to my mother. A circle of friends has helped me on my journey to recovery and the art workshops and being a good person.
