Dear Mr. Darrington, It’s hard to believe that it was nine months ago that we brought Steven to the academy. I was looking at some of the information sheets and questionnaires that I had to fill out in the beginning concerning Steven’s disposition and circumstances. I am truly amazed how much Steven has turned around. I thank the academy for pushing Steven to his limits to make the choice of being who he was or becoming the person he is supposed to be. When we brought Steven there, I cried from sadness and pain; now I cry tears of joy…. …I just want to say a few things about [Rosemary]. She has been a wonderful mentor for Steven, and I could not ask more of her. Rosemary has also been a friend to me in one of the most difficult times in my life. She has true concern for her children at the academy and for her parents. I look forward to speaking with her every week. Her compassion for Steven and others has made my time away from Steven a little easier knowing that there is someone there that cares about my son. Even after Steven returns home, I will truly miss her. Thank you, Mr. Darrington, for your vision. This world needs more people like you. I publicly praise the school and recommend it without hesitation. I don’t think I can thank you enough for what your vision has done for my son and family. In some ways, I hate to close this letter. I could write a book about all the good the school has done for my family. Darrington Academy will always be in our hearts and never forgotten. I pray that you will have continued success and that others such as Steven will step up and follow in your footsteps. With warmest regards and heartfelt thanks, Laura
