Introductions

1. John Wilson introduced his young guest, Margaret Sandoval, a member of the Boys and Girls Club of the Foothills. Margaret described her life from early childhood to the present. At age two she was living in a trashy home surrounded by empty beer cans and cigarette butts. A shooting took place and social services took her away from her biological parents. She was then taken in by another family who raised her lovingly. She joined a summer program with the Boys and Girls Club of the Foothills. Unfortunately Margaret’s sister Rosie went back to their biological parents causing Margaret great distress. After counseling, Margaret returned to the Boys and Girls Club as a volunteer. Margaret became a top student at Monrovia High School and is about to enter Azusa Pacific University.
