Think Smart Outreach Center has impacted my life in several ways. They've done so much I don't even know where to start. First, I would like to say Thank you for everything without you all I would be lost and probably wouldn't had considered filling out college applications. I am just overwhelmed that you all took the time to help me through this long and difficult process. Trips, meetings and all the other little things will always be remembered and I know at times I was "outspoken" and my mouth got the best of me but you got me in line and still found it in your heart to help and you didn't have to so. You all are a major milestone in my life's journey. Thank You!

Think Smart Outreach Center has encouraged me to do a lot of things and make choices. As far as me being an upcoming senior getting ready for college, it had my mind going crazy with trying to pick the right college. I introduced myself to Think Smart Outreach Center and met Ms. Pam. She was there to help me fill out applications to college and do my financial aid. I finally picked the right college with the help of Ms. Pam and I thank her for that. I also loved the things we did at the center as well as all the trips we've been on. I think that Think Smart Outreach Center is an encouragement to other youth. Thank you!

First of all I want to thank Think Smart Outreach Center for all the wonderful things they have done me. It was a great learning experience. I got a chance to meet new people and experience new surroundings. I always knew I was going to college but actually did not know how I would get there. I did not know where to begin with the college applications or how I was going to pay for college. Think Smart has open so many doors for all children. Not every child knows if they are college material. But Think Smart gives everyone that opportunity to experience new things. All the workshops and trips have prepared me more for the real world. All the things I have learned and experienced through this program will always be with me. Thank you once again for everything.

I want to thank you for all the things you have done for me in the past months. At first before I entered into this program, my mind was blank about college but when I entered into this program y'all opened my eyes and made me realize that college is a very important sector in our life. Think Smart has done so much for me. I enjoyed the meetings where we would laugh and talk. I even enjoyed the trips because it made me experience and see more things outside of my hometown. Think Smart also helped me to meet and talk to new people through these couple of months with Think Smart. I met a lot of new friends. So I am really saying Thank you for helping me out and showing me the new life ahead for me. Thanks!

Think Smart Outreach Center has really blessed me these past couple of months. I really would like to say a special thanks to Ms. Nell and Ms. Pam. You've lead me in a direction that I never would've thought about going. Before I met you all, I was not even thinking about college applications. All I was worried about was passing my exams for that semester. Once again, I appreciate everything that you've done for me. Thank you!

Think Smart has influenced me tremendously in the time that I have been with the program. The program has taught me to be caring, sharing and to take pride in the great things you do. At the beginning you come in with no responsibilities or worries but by the end you have learned lifelong lessons of morality. My decision making has improved as well and I think I'm just an overall better person. Think Smart will teach you that it is not about you all the time but it is about helping people that is around you. I am still in the process of learning to organize my schedule but that has gotten a tad bit better too. The most important thing that the organization has taught me is to PREPARE, PREPARE, PREPARE!
