I had a sobering experience in a classroom this week. A young high school student came up to me and said her father was addicted to crystal meth and sometimes crack cocaine. What she told me was not easy to listen to but I knew it was true by her mannerisms and by her tears.
At 17, she’s the oldest of four children; the youngest is five. Her mother works two jobs and she herself works after school in order to help pay the rent and feed the family. No health care, no car, barely covering the basics in order to survive. Her mother insists she stay in school and graduate, I agreed wholeheartedly.
