They’re like mentors to me, and I really appreciate that. I’m helping out as a leader in the kitchen while I’m here, and that‘s good, because I feel like I’m giving something back. It’s hard but I’m glad that I’m not where I was three months ago. I really don’t want to go back to the way I was living.

Thanks to the team from Mi n d Wo r k s Multimedia and Bl u Se a f o o d for sponsoring and preparing the evening meal service on January 7.
