THE GIFT OF PRESENCE
As we wrap up the Christmas season and move into 2012, we are excited to share a few stories of the ways your investment has been a gift to the parents of our students.
"Since my son has been at SUA, I’ve seen such a positive change in him! He had a hard go of things [at his previous schools] and was easily angered, but now he is able to talk with me about the issues he is facing."
This SUA mother is used to her son’s hard exterior, very little communication, and academic setbacks. But lately things are different. "As a young man, it is hard for him to share with his mom about how he is doing; but since being at SUA, he has started to open up about his desire to succeed and care for others. I now know he is finally on track."
At SUA, we rejoice that many families are seeing incredible changes in their teenagers.
"My son, Angelo, has always been helpful and has always desired success in school. A lack of confidence got in his way." SUA works with students one-on-one to ensure success in their education. Angelo's mother, Lydia, sees this first-hand and believes that finding SUA was, "...truly a Godsend. I only wish I would have found this school earlier-my daughter needed help, too!"
We cherish your friendship. We are a grace-filled community that dwells with our students with active support and personal commitment. Your investment will ensure more youth at risk are transformed into young adults with both the desire AND the ability to help others.
Too often, critical presence and support for the success of our youth is lacking— won't you invest to fill that gap?
