In front of a crowd of friendly faces at the Faith Lutheran Church in Vista on Friday, a very special graduation ceremony took place.
“I feel like I have accomplished the world,” said Jenesa Cazare, one of the graduates. “It's better than my high school graduation.” “I just went into drugs really early. I started around 10, drinking and then smoking and doing the hardest stuff,” said Cazare. “It brought me to a point where a couple of years ago I got caught trafficking drugs across the border.”Cazare had already lost custody of her first child and didn’t want the same to happen with her second.
Megison said they've seen more than 4,300 people successfully go through their program in its 24 years. “I don't see myself going back into old habits and people and things that I’m not supposed to support,” said Cazare. “Here I have people to go to when I need to. They really do set you up for success.”
Cazare said she's maintained custody of her second child and plans to go back to school and study caregiving.
