Alicia has been working for sometime on completing her requirements to graduate from High School. Barbara has been helping her with some of the packets that were left to be done. She was truly motivated to complete all that was needed. On June 16th we attended her graduation ceremony. She was asked to speak and part of her message was including all who have had a positive influence in her life. She mentioned both Barbara and I as well as Bishop Kruger. The remarkable thing with all of this is that she is 46 years old and has overcome much adversity in this accomplishment. We are so proud of her. We had the opportunity of meeting her parents and they too expressed appreciation on how we have helped Alicia. She was nervous about speaking but stood up there with confidence and presented herself very well.
There were six others who graduated with her. The program she was in was sponsored by the Alliance House accredited by Horizante Adult Education. They help those who struggle with mental illness and addiction.
