Before I got to Laurel House life didn’t mean anything to me. I was sent here for trying to run away, getting caught with drugs at school, and running away for 2 days and a night. At home my mom and I couldn’t even have a decent conversation without an argument. School was a place I rarely visited. I’d go out and rarely tell my mom the truth about with whom or where I would go. Nothing was going good in my life. Laurel House has helped me so much. If it wasn’t for Laurel House I think I’d be in Juvenile Hall right now. Especially the counseling has helped. Without counseling my mom and I would not be able to talk to each other as we do right now. But, the greatest thanks goes to God for helping my mom and I get through my problems!
