“The encouragement I got from Monroe Harding to continue to go to school, do my classwork, and get my grades up - helped a lot in the process of me graduating on time. I feel like I can accomplish a lot more in my life than I use to. I have been able to move on from past traumas and difficulties. It has made me feel loved, which is not something I use to feel a lot”
