Graduate Testimonials

Hi, I graduated with class 1-93 and when I went home from school life looked the same. I had the same mom, the same sister, the same unorganized and disfunctional life. I was different though. I had goals and dreams and suddenly they looked possible. Remember, you're only where you want to be. Your future now, not anyone elses. Your dreams. It's up to you to take the steps to reach what you desire... you are the master of your mind, will and emotions. You can do anything you want to do... you just have to do it. If you can't find a way, make one. Good luck to you.

Graduate Heather Ginn, Cycle 1-93

I attended TYA cycle 2-96. I have my own company producing computer graphics, and probably owe alot of my success to the TYA program.

I graduated with class of 1-97. This program has been a major part of my life, getting me on the track that I needed to succeed in life. I am now only 24 and have since been in the Marine Corps and now part of the Central Intelligence Agency's Electronic Crime Division. The program gave me the tools to become one of the best trained and most qualified network security agents in the nation. Thank you.

Special Thanks to:
Sgt. Townsend
SSgt. Lundy (Is that good chow, platoon?)
Sgt. Davis and his family
and I cannot forget...Sgt. Berry, Thanks for not beating me when I asked you if anyone ever told you that you look like a smurf. 

Thanks guys.
Graduate Matthew Jarmillo
