Quotes
“What I learned at YLF about myself and others is that everyone I met was proud
of what they were.”
Travis, YLF 2010
“Although we may have a disability, that isn't going to stop us from reaching
our goals.”
Chris, YLF 2010
“I am a very closed-off person. For me to come here and learn with other
students with disabilities who accept me for who I am makes me feel like I
can go to college and study something I love.”
Angela, YLF 2009
“I learned that a person with a disability is still a person; just different.
Even though some people have obstacles in life, you can always overcome them.”
