This spring, P.E.A.S.E. Academy celebrated the many gifts of its students during an evening talent extravaganza. Fellow students, family members, friends, and community members filled tables, a delicious taco dinner was served and folks settled in to be entertained and inspired.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

P.E.A.S.E. Academy, the nation\u2019s oldest recovery school is a place for healing and dealing with the challenges addiction and substance use can create in a life. P.E.A.S.E. is a place where students can focus on recovery and getting life on a new path of their making.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The community is so supportive and the talent show is a chance for staff and students to share themselves and all their creative expression and humor.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Along with beautiful poetry, music, skits and comedy, P.E.A.S.E. Chemical Dependency Counselor shared a poem he wrote about the school and its students that really sums up why P.E.A.S.E. means so much to the people who are part of its community and highlights its transforming power.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Thank you, Mr. Brown.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

P.E.A.S.E. In A Pod<\/strong><\/p>\n

They go from class to class,<\/p>\n

They are like Peas in a Pod\u2026..<\/p>\n

Say the Serenity prayer\u2026\u2026\u2026.<\/p>\n

but we\u2019re a School.<\/p>\n

so Don\u2019t use the word God<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

They travel long distances<\/p>\n

Catch more than one Bus\u2026.<\/p>\n

Horse Play in the Hallways,<\/p>\n

are waaay too loud\u2026and yeah, sometimes they cuss<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

And, I stand tall, so very very Proud of them\u2026.<\/p>\n

Now, let me tell you why.<\/p>\n

Many people know the definition<\/p>\n

of the word courage, but I can see it,<\/p>\n

in their eyes<\/p>\n

all welled up with tears, trying not to blink,<\/p>\n

\u2018cause they don\u2019t want to Cry.<\/p>\n

But they do\u2026\u2026and I just move the Kleenex<\/p>\n

box closer, and they keep showing up\u2026..<\/p>\n

And they keep growing up.<\/p>\n

Laughter is just something<\/p>\n

They\u2019re just stealing<\/p>\n

\u2018Cause they\u2019re dealing, with the difficult part\u2026..<\/p>\n

The Healing\u2026all the while trying<\/p>\n

Hard to avoid those particular feelings.<\/p>\n

The ones they been carrying around\u2026<\/p>\n

Since waaay back when.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re sooo Brave, like you don\u2019t even know<\/p>\n

Confused and lost sometimes,<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t know which way to go.<\/p>\n

Ya see it\u2019s not the Scars on the Wrists and Arms<\/p>\n

From all the Self Harms\u2026..it\u2019s the ones on the inside<\/p>\n

Like great big Kettle Bells\u2026of different sizes<\/p>\n

With plenty of Surprises, Still\u2026\u2026..from the hands<\/p>\n

They were delt.<\/p>\n

I am so Proud of them!! Determined and driven<\/p>\n

Sometimes Absent, and sometimes tardy\u2026<\/p>\n

But\u2026..eh, that\u2019s a given.<\/p>\n

They juss wanna get their GPA\u2019s up, Graduate\u2026..<\/p>\n

Get from Science to Math,<\/p>\n

While over coming the invisible hurdles,<\/p>\n

\u2026..of their past.<\/p>\n

Then they help each other up<\/p>\n

I know the peas in this Pod are tight\u2026..<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s what\u2019s up<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":16642,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16641","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"\nThe P.E.A.S.E.
