Denise, at the age of 38, walked through the
doors of New Directions Career Center looking for acceptance for
the woman she is today, and not for judgments based on her past
behaviors. Having spent her childhood in foster care, where she
was physically and sexually abused, Denise never seemed to have
the chance to develop self-esteem or self-confidence. In 1998,
a major turning point occurred – a gang sexually assaulted
Denise. She remembers being beaten, including being stomped on
by six gang members. A worker from a social service agency
found Denise lying in the street and within a week, Denise
entered a six-month chemical dependency rehabilitation program.
After hearing about New Directions Career Center while in
treatment, Denise showed up at our door. She stated that she
was desperate to find help. Eager to learn more about herself
as well as come up with some plans for the future, Denise
faithfully attended the month-long New Directions
program. Her self-confidence rose to new highs during the
program. During the New Directions program, Denise
enrolled in real estate schooling, which she has now completed,
and now is working on her licensing exam. Denise is clean and
sober, has been in a healthy relationship for over three years,
and is working towards her dream career in real estate.
