YWA changed me by showing me a way to keep pushing myself. They showed me that everything doesn’t need a bad reaction, that things can really be worked out calmly. I changed a lot this year! I got my credits up, missing work turned in, started coming to school every day and all because my teachers really care. Without them I probably wouldn’t be here today. I disliked school a lot last year – the drama, the messy kids stopped me from doing what needed to be done.

 

But after I came to YWA, I realized that doesn’t matter what they think, it’s about ME. I really want to thank Mrs. Goodloe and Security Dede for the lift up and the motivation the most. I think the incoming students will like it here. This school really makes you feel at home and teaches you a lot.

 

I love the family we built here, we connect well, and I wish I could stay in this program a little longer! I love how much they care and the effort they give. I want to say to all my teachers: Thank you so much!
