When I was in college, the class that was my turning point in deciding on my future career was child psychology. We talked a lot about kids addiction to both street and prescription drugs and I had such a heart for helping children that were struggling with this. I knew at that moment that this was my calling and I changed all of my classes to help me advance in this decision.

I poured my heart and soul into learning everything that I could about what I could do to help these kids. I wanted to be an addictions counselor and I wanted to specialize in counseling kids who had problems with substance abuse. One reason I had such a passion about this because I have always had a very addictive personality and have had to fight my whole life to overcome the feelings of want and need when it came to things that were bad for me.
