January 1, 2010

One student at the end of her dead-end road is now working at an excellent job, saving money, traveling, and making long range plans for her life. She transformed from a dysfunctional "failure" into a caring, contributing member of our community. The single element that precipitated that change was her enrollment in Clemente.
