CASA

“We have rules in the group home about tattoos, so you can imagine that I was disappointed when Barry, one of the youths in my group had drawn a tattoo on his arm. I approached Barry and asked him to wash the tattoo off. He was hesitant and didn’t want to do it, so I asked him to come with me and I would help him. As I grabbed the soap and looked at his arm I noticed that the tattoo said ‘I Heart George’. I asked him, ‘Barry, who’s George?’, and he answered, ‘My CASA friend’. Well.. right then and there I decided there’s an exception to every rule.”
