"The program has helped me to work towards getting my GED. I recently took the exam and passed. I feel like if it wasn’t for this program I wouldn’t have reached my goals, or would have a chance to make it in life. I would have also been in a shelter or homeless. I would like to thank Ms. J, Mr. P., and Mr. U. for all the help and for believing in me. The program gave me a new beginning and it's my choice to finish it."
"I personally think that the system should provide a support group or organization such as In the Spirit of the Children for young adults that are aging out or have already had aged out."
