Poetry Slam: An Adult Survivor of Childhood Ritalin Shares a Great Story

Tags: ,

This is my buddy Ian French (who performs as “IF”), who I admire for so many reasons.  Many of us forget how hard school and adolescence can be.  Ian reminds us how dark those days can be and how far off the rails one’s early life can go.  Now a father of a teen son himself, Ian is sharing his own story of how he rose above it all.  Ian sends a positive message about a better day that parents and youth will be encouraged by.  Great contribution Ian!

(Ah – foul language warning – just in case that makes you squeamish.)
