Village of Hope Stories – Trey

When I first came into DSYTC I was heavily addicted to substances and didn’t know what I was going to do with my life. I have learned a lot about myself since being here and have learned how to approach situations in life much better.

I’m glad my mom forced me to come to DSYTC because I have already made a better life for myself since being here for a month and a half. I am leaving today and I believe in myself that I won’t be going back to using substances everyday or ever again.

I am happy with who I have become since I’ve been here and I’m going to constantly improve myself after I am home. This place has given me so many life skills that I can use outside of here and it has helped me with school. I’ve done so much school work since being here that I could actually graduate this year with school.
