No words,
Could express my gratitude for you.
No monetary amount,
Could pay you back for what you've done for me.
I couldn't even imagine what my life would be like right now,
Without having had you there.
I started as a stupid freshman,
With no ambitions or plans for college,
Now I'm a junior and have high hopes and plans for my future.
I still can't believe you're over;
A tragic government cut, above our control.
I guess that's just the way the world works sometimes.
But even now,
When you're no longer able to go on
You continue giving,
To myself and everyone you've touched,
Even though we took you for granted for so long.
I'd always thought that you didn't matter to me,
So much as you truly did, and do.
You gave me so much opportunity,
New friends
A new mindset
And an entirely new outlook on the world.
You've honestly saved my life.
And for that I am eternally grateful.

I never thought it'd be possible that something could change my life so drastically. This college program was truly the best thing that has ever happened to me. It transformed me into the person I am today and has quite frankly saved my life in the process. I am grateful to all the people who put their time and effort into making this program so special and helpful to all of us students. I know they put up with so much nonsense crap from us, but they still stuck around and believed in us. I've never been good with being able to tell someone how much they mean to me, or even making it visible. And this is the time when i wish the most that i could have. Everyone in this program became family to me. And nothing can change that.
