It was something I lacked, and I…

Act 368 of 1978 ADA 2250 Lilliann Kaye This law is Section 333.7401 of the Public Health Code Act 368 of 1978. In short, it’s a law saying you cannot possess, manufacture, or sell controlled substances, and the consequences for doing so.

strategies to prolong its potential to deliver its promise. “The goals must be clearly linked to the organization’s business strategy otherwise; successful change becomes an even larger challenge” [Cheryl Yaeger, 2006].

On April, 19 2013 I was blessed with a baby boy. It was the happiest day of my life, but I was unaware of the hurdles that lie ahead.

I reached a point in my life where I had decided to drop out of school because I could no longer cope with the stress. After a semester, I…
