Dear Judge Rotenberg Center,

JRC is the greatest and i mean that with all my heart!! Its real late in the morning. 4am in the morning to be exact. I was looking over the JRC web site and it has so much to offer to people who are not familar with JRC. JRC is a great place and me just looking over the web site helped me re-afirmed how much i miss and am so grateful for everything JRC has done for me. I love that place and i wish i would have stayed and gone out the right way, but just some advice for students who are leaving soon. Hope is never too far. I feel your pain and i know it is hard. You don't know the half of it, but the real world isn't any easier. It is much harder than any one of you students think. I am living in it!! It is a dogy dog world out here. learn and grow while you are at JRC. There are no bounderies to what you can grasp and learn and take in. Take in everything. Read a lot. Look up imformation on the internet. Do your best in school. Ask to be apart of every extra activty to keep your mind focused. Listen work hard now, and play later!! Live by that. Work by that!! Think about what college you want to attend when you leave JRC. Think about all the things you want to do in life to better your self for when you leave JRC, there aren't any bounderies to what you can accomplish in life. Don't worry about relationships. There will be plenty of time for that in the future. But now worry about you and you only, because not even the real world will be worried about you. The only people who know your name is bills, and more bills. They know you, and they are waiting for you to come and see them, but you must be prepared. I ran from my problems thinking i had all the answers but of course i didn't. You know what happened?? I had to learn the hard way!! It wasn't pretty and it still isn't!! But i am surviving and i am living to be a better person, a more postive and more succesful person, because it is never too late to change and become a better person. People talk and people listen, but in the end it is all up to you to decide what path you will choose and take. Let JRC guide and perpare you and then the rest is up to you. I have learned a lot from JRC, But the most important thing that i learned from JRC is no one has the one right answer. So you as a person must choose the right path, but others will guide, or will teach. But it is all up to you to want to change, or want to learn. JRC will give you the skills, and education to be able to succeed in a normal life setting, but it is up to you (students) to take the right path and to take all the help you can take. I am telling you this because i didn't choose the right path, so my path was longer and tougher, but it doesn't have to be that way for you. Learn for me. I knew all the tricks and i got away with so many things while i was in JRC, but you know who i cheated?? MY SELF!!!!!!!! I Wasted vauble and spared time to take all i could have taken while i was at JRC!! Take all the skills that JRC is offering you. Become a more succesful person. Become all that you can be!! Thank you JRC for all your help and support and i am very sorry that i left early. I cheated my self and i am forever thoughtful of this and of the skills JRC has taught. Please get this message out to my fellow students at JRC. I want them to know from a former students mouth of how life can be!! Thanks.

Sincerely,

Kevin H.

P.S - I WILL BE VISTING SOON!! SOON!!

I'll talk to you soon joe and tell S. that he looked great in his suit durring graduation. Isn't the internet a great thing. I feel so happy for some reason after looking over the JRC web site. Because i realized how true it all is. And how it helped me so much!! I am FOREVER thankful for JRC and am glad to have gone there!! It was a rough four 1/2 years, but it was fun the best times of my life!!!
