Hey all. I went to casa right before my 16th birthday in 2000 and graduated in early 2002. 9/11 happened while I was there. I’m from NY. Went to level 5 then got dropped to level 1 cause of an internal “mafia” type group I had put together between myself, other kids and some of the Mexican staff. A girl that was taking her exit plan wrote a statement of fact about the girls on her side and my crew. That document got about 20 people dropped from upper levels on both the girls and our sides. That was the worst. I shot back up to level 6, got voted on to the realest student council that place ever saw and graduated pretty quick. I did it to prove a point to Jade, Dace, Luke and that newer guy after Jason Finlinson left (forgot his name) that a kid from the Bronx could beat that place without ever falling for it’s bullshit ways. I’m the guy that did my graduating speech to the whole facility about realness and always going against the grain to win. Jade ran up to cut me off cause that wasn’t in line with their agenda. The place really sucked but I took what I needed out of it without giving up my morals. I’m in a great spot in life now but I know a lot of the people that really had a rough time there. I helped a bunch of people get through it by just being a real friend to them especially when I got on the council.

I may make a tik tok about my personal experiences there. Anyone remember me let me know.

Mom sent me there cause I was with the wrong crew.
Stealing cars, smoking weed and wasting potential away.

Ask me anything!
