	Carla Swanson "I saw an announcement on cable access T.V. about Moving On. I also had friends and relatives who had been in the program. It had been 25 years since I was in school and I was divorced after 21 years of marriage. Moving On helped me to learn study habits, time management, and expectations from homework. I received a 4.0 grade point, which gave me the confidence that I could be academically successful."
	Gray Conway "A welfare mom told me about Moving On. Then I went to RCC and had an interview to get into the program. Moving On helped me get back in touch with myself. I learned about networking, social activism and work. I was also in bad physical shape and that changed. Everything has changed. I was discouraged and disheartened and Moving On enabled me to dream again. All this has happened since I was in Moving On in the spring of 1994."
	Laurie Nichens "After my husband left me I realized that I needed better opportunities and better job possibilities. I heard about Moving On from my divorce attorney. When I finished the Moving On program and saw that I had gotten a 4.0 grade point it just opened up possibilities. It gave me confidence, made me realize that I could do things, realize that I am a good person. Before that time I had based my whole life on what one person, my husband, thought of me. My attitude about myself has changed. Life will get better. The circumstances that brought you here will get better and you will be able to look back."
	Kathy Dean "I learned a lot more about myself that I thought I would. The class discussions, exercises, and the exploratory homework were all effective to my growth. I believe I will be a more successful college student because of Bright Futures."
	Rose Holub " I have become a totally different person. I've gotten away from a lot of bad habits. I no longer think of myself as a nobody."
	Ruth Maddox "The Bright Futures program helped me to find out who I really am, gave me the encouragement to explore my dreams, and empowered me to succeed."
	Sam Garcia "The Program helped me discover myself. I never knew myself before then. I like who I am and I never did before."
