Students who succeed in turning their lives around at The Family School are especially grateful to the staff who helped them do it. One alumnus recently reported that the work ethic she acquired at FFS has just earned her a major promotion in her first job out of college. "I know I was influenced by the example of my sponsor at the school who never stopped pushing me to live up to my potential," she said on a recent visit. Many staff members are equally grateful to the students---for the chance to witness the miracles of recovery and to learn and grow for themselves in this healing, 12-Step environment.
