Sergio M.

I experienced physical abuse growing up and by a young age, I had already attended 35 different school districts. I was diagnosed with dyslexia early on and was raised in an environment surrounded by drug addicts and alcoholics. My own struggles with addiction began when I was 13 years old. At that time, I became involved with a rough crowd and spent much of my time partying and searching for love and purpose. In seeking a fresh start, I came to Teen Challenge to focus on the direction of my life and the direction God has for me. I now hope to work with men and minister to others who face similar challenges, offering support and guidance based on my own experiences.
