James Craig's Story

Currently, I am a mental health therapist treating juvenile sex offenders in Okeechobee, Florida at a maximum security facililty. I am in my last year of obtaining my second Master's degree with hopes of going on to obtain a doctorate in Forensic Psychology. I have worn many hats since high school including but not limited to Child Protective Investigator and auxillary law enforcement officer to investigative intern with the Attorney General.

Before the cancer, I was just surviving, never truly knowing what it was to just laugh and be myself. My favorite quote is from a song and it states "Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along, tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone". Carpe Diem. I have always been an overachiever, but do DEFINITELY believe in the concept of work hard, play harder. The cancer taught me that. I believe in living every single day like it was my last. Most of all, I believe in learning as much as I can about anything. The learning never ends. Craig
