Prior to running my wellness/spa business and puppy mill rescue, I was a teacher. I taught theater and poetry at one of the local Job Corps. Many of the students come from rough backgrounds and a lot of the teachers treated them horribly. My thoughts were if they already went through a lot at home why must it continue here? By being respectful toward them they returned the respect to me, by opening their creativity they bloomed. And to this day I still keep in touch with many of them and I am glad to say they are all doing well :)

Funny how that works... I've lived in rough neighborhoods most of my life (it's all I could afford) People are pretty much the same- they act toward you the way you act toward them!
