“I have never been with a part of a group that supports me unconditionally, pushing me to pursue my goals even when I feel like I have nothing left in me. I know that I can call any staff member or fellow at anytime, even if it's been weeks or years since we've last spoken, I know that it'll always feel the same. They are my family and I feel so blessed to have a had this experience with all of them.”
