I was raised a Catholic and went to all-girl Catholic schools until the 5th grade. During my high school years I attended a public school. I became involved with an individual in the 10th grade who hung with a fast crowd. Soon I became involved with the drug scene. In my senior year I got into some serious trouble, so immediately upon my graduation my parents sent me to live with relatives who were Christian. There was an evangelistic series at my Aunt's church. Reluctantly I went to the church and after the second night of the meetings I gave my heart to the Lord.

The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.
