“I just got accepted to South Texas College of Law in Houston. I will be starting law school in August. In addition to going to law school, I will be interning with my dad’s friend at his criminal law firm. I am going to be following in his footsteps by studying criminal law, and I plan on working for him after graduation.” M.L.

“I just wanted to say thank you for everything! This has been a wonderful and learning experience. I will carry memories from here for the rest of my life. I always knew you were there for not just me but the rest of us as well. You have changed and helped turn around so many lives, it’s amazing! Before I came here I was a high-school drop out going no where with my life, now I’m a graduate getting ready to start college in 2 weeks. Well, thanks for everything. I really appreciate it! I will be keeping in touch.”
