Jacque’s Story
“I’m also really glad that I wasn’t treated like a drug addict, and people respected me and saw a lot of good in me… I think because this place gave me that opportunity, I couldn’t turn it down. I just thought that, ‘yeah, this is definitely where I’m supposed to go, because I’ve always wanted to go back to college.’”
