I went to a nice private high school where i had Division 1 college scholarships to play lacrosse. This was the same time i began taking prescription pills. I ended up getting kicked out of school and losing all scholarships. For the next 10 years of my life was bad decision after bad decision. I choose drugs over my family and friends time and time again. I hit rock bottom when i was 27. I lost my job, my brother kicked me out of his house, and no one in my family wanted to talk to me. I was living in a motel, when i looked around and noticed drug dealers and prostitutes were my only friends, I had no hope for a future and i wanted to die. My best friend came to Baltimore for the weekend and told me about Teen Challenge. I came in 2 days later, not knowing if there was a God or if he knew me. God revealed himself to me during my first week during praise and worship, i experienced the power of his love. Things continued to get better after proclaiming Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I thought this program was just going to help me get clean but it did so much more, God transformed me into a new person. He also restored the relationships with my family. they trust me now and my brother even asked me to be the Godfather of his beautiful daughter. I am currently working at my dads gym part time and doing an internship at Teen Challenge. I felt the need to give back because this place helped save my life and i want to help change peoples lives. It was only by Gods grace and mercy that i was able to become the person i am today. 2 Corinthians 5;17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eac54af918d9a703a4d0edc/1589740673944-1W5F40QDOKM45GFK7WFY/james.jpg Student Testimonies - James Taylor Tobias Keene, D.D.S.
