I am 30 years old and I am from Lowell, MA. I originally attended UMass Amherst from 2005-2007, but I dropped out after injuring my back. I decided to finish my degree after watching many of my friends die due to their addictions. They helped me when I was at my worst, even though they had no moral obligation to do so. I want to be able to provide that same support and compassion to those who need it, hopefully an education will put me in a position to do some good.
