Sophie’s Reality
I have to tell you about my friend Sophie. She is the most amazing and courageous person that I have ever met. She has overcome so much in her short lifetime and is one of the smartest and most beautiful people that I have ever met. I met her when I went to visit my mom when she was in a home for alcohol rehab.
Sophie was only fifteen years old at the time and I did not know very much about kids addiction at that time. We ended up talking the night that my mom was so sick and never actually came out to see me. Sophie befriended me as she said I looked like a deer caught in the headlights.
I was scared of her to begin with, but as I got to know her, I was amazed at her story and the courage she had to get the help she needed. She went on to get a college education and she now helps other kids that were in the same situation as her. She is truly my hero.
