"I think that getting put in shelter and CICTP really helped me to think about how important my education is to my life. Ever since I got out of shelter, I went to school every day 'til the end of the last school year, and I am going to continue to do that until I graduate from high school. Hopefully I can get into college then."

"The staff at CICTP really helped get my life straightened out again. They got me a good job in the Earn and Learn program and helped me realize the importance of going to school and getting a good education. This program was pretty tough, but I think I made it through successfully because I made it without any problems in the program, and I didn't get locked up again! Also, I went to school every day that I was supposed to. I will continue to do that because I don't want to end up doing this all over again!"

"I want to give a special 'thank you' to all of the people that helped get my life back on track. I really appreciate it."
