"When I first arrived at I felt alone. However, the people here welcomed me; I felt like I could belong and become a part of the big family. I have had to work through some really hard stuff. I’ve gained self-confidence, learned to trust, kept healthy relationships, and prepared for my future. The school may be hard, the counseling sessions difficult, but I’ve learned that if I work through the hard stuff now; it will set me up for a better future."
