I visited my local Church of Scientology and soon found out that it was possible to do something about improving my life. One of my first actions was to do the 'Purification Rundown' which effectively removed all the distress caused by many years of accumulated drug residues. This proved to be a major turning point. I had never felt so well, or had so much energy in all my life. After that, I never looked back. I decided that if such a simple action could cause such a dramatic improvement, then I should definitely investigate and study the works of L. Ron Hubbard. Who knows what else I would find to help improve my life and that of my family and friends?

     I have been studying and applying Scientology Technology for 12 years now. In that time I have become a very 'well' person, who has a lot of energy for living.

     One of my proudest achievements was to be able to help my children with their own schooling. I decided that history was NOT going to repeat itself and moved them to a school that uses both Hubbard's Study Technology and the precepts of the 'Way to Happiness' as part of it's curriculum. Both children enjoyed their student years and have come away with many awards and prizes. Neither of my children have ever taken street drugs. They didn't need to, they both have self-confidence and the ability to tell right from wrong. Many of their peers at university and Art School weren't so fortunate.

     Another achievement concerns the subject of death. I came across a great deal of very helpful information in Scientology literature which dispelled years of despair and false information on this subject. I had grown up with a great deal of attention on my dead brother and a constant feeling of 'deathfulness'. With Scientology counseling all those unwanted conditions have totally disappeared, never to return. When I looked after my mother through her last months of terminal cancer, I was able to do so with real love and attention to her and to the rest of my family. We totally avoided a re-run of my fathers death.

     I've worked in a Study Technology school as an Arts and Crafts teacher. I've always enjoyed producing my own artwork, especially portraits and jewelry, but I have just as much fun and a great deal of success teaching two-dimensional and three-dimensional Art using L. Ron Hubbard's advises to teachers and artists. I've been able to help students produce exam work of very high quality - work they have enjoyed creating, even though they had to spend long, hard hours at it. In fact I haven't found a young person yet who wasn't capable of creating in the Arts in some way.

      Now I have a new grandson to help raise. Both his parents are Scientologists and I am quite confident that this very healthy, happy baby will be able to look forward to a great family life and a successful future, secure in the knowledge that Scientology will prove to be just as useful to him as it is to me.
