I was, without exaggeration, a delinquent teenager.

The only reason I've shared my story is to take that tiny baby step of breaking down the stigma attached to depression.

The struggle I went through has value.

I love working with kids and I want to just be able to do it from my heart and not as a job.

If you dream and you allow yourself to dream you can do anything.

That's what is most satisfying, is having overcome that pain. Pain that is so intense that when you finish, it feels like you're going to die. That's what I wanted, and that's what I got.
