What Ostiguy Meant to Me

“When I enrolled at Ostiguy High I knew that I would get the support I needed for my recovery. I didn’t realize how many other opportunities would come my way. The guidance counselor helped me through the college application process. I participated in an afterschool web design course. After I graduated, ABCD provided me with a job at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum through their SummerWorks program. Now that I am starting college I still communicate regularly with the staff and students at Ostiguy.”

“Nobody thought I would ever earn my diploma. I was always high and didn’t go to school. Once I got sober my life changed. I graduated in June and now I am enrolled at Massasoit College in the Early Childcare Education program. I have been sober for over a year now and feel optimistic about my future.”
