I know I haven’t always used the best judgment. But I really want to do this & I know I could be a really good teacher. I had a problem with substance abuse but I’m not using anymore.”

“I was diagnosed as Bipolar 1 and still am dealing mostly with depression. I have trouble with time management, saying no to people, getting exercise and just making change. My goal is to get organized so I can at least minimize the feeling that my life is scattered so I can have some peace of mind.”

Katy, 19 years old, university student
“My goal is to be a doctor. I was born with congenital birth abnormalities & diagnosed with ADHD in high school. My 1st semester of college was a disaster because I took on too many higher-level classes. I became overwhelmed triggering a tendency to shut down. I need to learn better study habits and to do a better job with time management. Finally, I need to believe in myself,-to know that if I work hard & smart I will get my degree & achieve my goal in the medical field.”

“It’s the old accountability story, – I need a spiritual director to keep me in line with my ADHD handicaps in mind. My narcolepsy is made worse by the fact that I have no routine for sleep. My procrastination and difficulty in making choices has prevented me from accomplishing so much in my field. I know that people in my life have often felt resentment because of my problems with punctuality and follow-through, AD/HD, and drug and alcohol use.”
