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!!! |
