I feel so much better about myself and my feelings. I will not forget to focus on the facts and prune the negatives! —HIDOE Student i! 66 I like the way that we draw, and it makes me explain my emotions a lot. And the reason why I like to draw is because it gives me this feeling inside that I can finally get the stuff out of my head. I can finally get to talk out all my bad emotions and finally get it free. Itjust makes me feel all warm inside cause I can finally get out all my anger. It's a really good day when I am in Hazel. —HIDOE Student I want you to know I am hurting, and I will ask for Hazel.
