My name is Mike. I have lived in Williams Lake most of my life. I am 42 now.
The PAL program is helping me learn so I am dealing with more of my own problems now. I talk to more people than I did and I use the phone more. I think more about things around me. I am looking after my health better because of the help I get. I am now more comfortable asking other people for help.
My tutor encourages me.
