ello, my name is Laurie Di Paolo, and here is a little bit about myself:

     I am the mother of two and own my own business. I have been a Scientologist for 18 years. In my last year of University I didn't think I could make it. I was about to drop out and was very much into drugs.

         A friend of mine who had been in Scientology for a year came over and talked to me for one hour. In that hour my life changed. I began to think there was hope for me, I started in Scientology the next day, stopped doing drugs and got my B.A. (university degree) all in the next few weeks. I have never looked back since.
