It excites me to know how much I have gained from this experience and still what is yet to come. Sure, my mind was challenged, and I doubted myself at times, but told myself every day that I had this! The CLFP Foundation and its representatives have been so supportive throughout this entire experience and I’m looking forward to the future and the possibilities.”
