I was a troubled teen that didn't need incarceration, I needed the structure of a place like Sleighton Farms. While there I wasn't perfect but I was able to go to school, go to work and also maintain a 4.0 GPA. I had no idea what a valedictorian was until I was named the valedictorian for the class of 1978 for Martha P. Falconer. I loved the campus, the greenhouse, being surrounded by nature but the staff I encountered helped nurture this troubled, confused teenager to become a wonderful adult. They gave me the tools I needed to know that I was smart, that I could work, go to school and be a productive part of society. Today I am a Judge's secretary, not because I had a run in with the law but because of the life's lessons I learned in the short time at Sleighon Farms. I wish I could encounter just one staff member that helped me and thank them for SAVING my life. I believe if there were more places like Sleighton Farms we might have a greater opportunity to save our youth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8469192520927608112.post-53527472319233799142013-01-25T11:00:09.179-05:002013-01-25T11:00:09.179-05:00Lovely!
