"For the most part, he’s a normal teenager now.
He is pleasant and cooperative and a joy to be around. He is doing well in school and is set to
graduate in may. He is working after school and on the weekends and is saving for his first
car. His whole outlook on life has changed. He seems happy and much more positive. I truly
believe that this program saved his life and has given him a real chance at a
future ."
