I will also never forget all of the special relationships I have developed with so many extraordinary people and young women. Thank you for helping me to become the person I am today. I love you very much!"

"You supported me the whole way through and I know I was difficult at times. You never gave up on me and helped me change into the wonderful stable and amazing girl that I am today. It's been a long, long journey and has been tough at times but every second has been well worth it. I've accomplished so much and you've really helped me become what I was always was afraid to. I am so looking forward to my future now and I know I'm way ready for it.

Thanks for your support of sticking by me at my lowest times, and reaching the highest peak of things with me. Thanks for laughing and crying with me."
--A.C., Texas

"So many times when I was crying or upset you just held on to me and let me cry and showed me that you cared. Many times all I needed was a hug and someone to show me that they loved me and you were always there to do that. You never judged me on my mistakes or bad choices; you just helped me see where I could go from where I was. In treatment team you always made sure to give me positive feedback instead of just the negative and it always helped me to hear the negative better...Thank you for everything and more."

Kolob Canyon changed my life. I wasn't doing drugs or anything like that - or so I thought. Actually (as Kolob helped me realize) I was doing things like that just not as visible to an untrained eye (fortunately Kolob staff has lots of trained eyes). Kolob helped me realize a lot negative things and taught me how I could change them but it also taught me a lot of positive things and how to acknowledge them.
Towards the end (even though there was a lot going on with my life and my family) the hardest thing for me to do was to leave Kolob and my new family and home at Kolob. My life is great now and I did it. But I don't know if I could have without the help of everyone at Kolob Canyon.
