Falling Tree

The fellowship, and program, of Alcoholics Anonymous has truly performed miracles in my life. Today, the state trusts me with the care of approximately 100 sixth graders on a daily basis. This does not include the other 300 middle school students that fill the hallways of the school where I teach. This is the same state that has put me in jail twice on account of DUIs and took away my driver’s license for 18 months. When I think about my times drinking, I am amazed that anybody would trust me with the care of just one child, nevermind hundreds. It is through the AA that I have become a responsible, educated adult who aspires to inform and enrich the lives of both every child and adult I come into contact with today.
