"So many people have not walked the walk and therefore can not experience or understand the obstacles and trauma that many young men and women have overcome to not only survive, but to thrive. Thank you, NFTE, for walking the walk and for giving us these truly inspirational accounts. The suffering, sweat, tears, loss, grievances, but also the laughter, trust, perseverance, honor and integrity. It allows others to open their eyes to the walk to which you and others at NFTE have so graciously dedicated your careers. It allows others to understand how important your educational opportunities are for so many of our nation's young men and women —opportunities many couldn't have dreamed of. Most importantly, it pledges hope, and inspiration to young men and women who face misfortune or adversity."
