I have long dreamed of becoming an addiction counselor and helping others to overcome their pasts and become productive members of society. I realize that I must start at the bottom, and work my way up, and I am very excited to get the opportunity to do so...I am willing to mentor, facilitate groups, and do anything else needed to reach these goals....I believe that my real life experiences will make me able to relate to clients, and hopefully become an effective counselor.
