In the summer of 1998, my parents sent me off to “the program” in Canada. I have found that what I thought would be the worst experience of life, was the best thing that has ever happened to me. My relationship with my parents now is unbelievable. We are able to get along, not just because we have to, but because we want to. My relationship with God improves more and more. Of course I mess up, like everyone, but I am now able to realize mistakes and work on them.This may sound weird, but a part of me misses Canada so much. My time there was well spent. I would like to say thank you for the time and energy that the staff has put in me. They truly are blessings from God!
