It only takes time

In October, on a whim, Lindsey applied for a position in the Medical Secretary Program for Mayo Clinic.

In November, she aced two typing tests.

In December, she had a behavioral interview.

In January, she was offered a job with Mayo Clinic. And, in order to be offered the job, she had to pass the drug test.

As a mother of an addict, nothing brings more tears to your eyes than a letter that shows a negative result on the drug screen.

I am so incredibly proud of my Lindsey and how far she has come in 4 years. Time, perseverance and want is what it took for her. She did it on her own.
