Trying to remember what all I’ve suppressed. I was enrolled from January 2004 until July 2004 when my exit plan changed from a trip to the homeless shelter to a bus ticket home. I was 19 when I came to thompson falls so i was jr.staff. I was put in charge of a lower level family one day. There was this 16 year old who was extremely aggressive and much bigger than I am. I told the family to line up to go to class. This kid got right up in my face and yelled, “shut your pie hole”. To this I looked him dead in the eye and said, “I don’t eat pie.” That was the only time I ever saw him laugh. Shortly after that he was sent to tranquility bay. Wondering about his wellbeing has plagued my mind ever since.
