Like 15 year old Maria. She was in and out of mental hospitals for drugs, alcohol, and self- mutilation by cutting and burning. She suffered from depression and had attempted suicide. To top it all off, her mother was ill with cancer and her prognosis was not good. Maria and her 16 year old brother were sent to live at Vista Del Mar. In the beginning, it was very difficult because she did not want to be there. But after a time, she gradually began to heal, making connections with the associates and residents. After three difficult years, Maria began to live at the Vista Transition Home. After everything, she overcame her demons and decided to join the Army. After that, she hopes to go into the field of international relations, her college major. "I had been getting progressively worse," she says. "If I hadn't been placed in Vista, I might not be alive today."
