b'I am a very shy person who doesnt take risks because I think it is scary. Coming here changed that. I got to be myself with new people. I felt very safe and welcomed here by the amazing Instructors.I feel like I have new friends and a new family. We did struggle because of the harsh weather, but together we were able to overcome it. I would do it all over again.DARLENE FROM ALLIANCE GERTZ-RESSLER HIGH SCHOOL IN LOS ANGELES'
