CEP Students Letter Excerpts
"CEP has changed my attitude towards school and respect toward neither, but now I try not to get out of line and finish my work.”
- Raymond
“I have learned not to leave something for tomorrow when I can do it today. CEP is a great experience in my life.”
- Roberto
“CEP has made me into a better person. I am more mature, and it has me thinking straight. I don’t get into trouble. My grades went up and my attitude has improved a lot.”
- Joe
“The work is hard but when you finish you actually learn something. Every time I think about my grades, I remember I was a strait F student now I have A’s on my report card and it all came to me here at
CEP.”
- Angel
“They give us a chance to participate in the weekly incentives and a better chance to elevate academically and responsibly because of the many specialists they have working on the school staff and training us.”
- Patrick
“When we step in the building, we have to be searched so this way there will be more security. Some schools have no security at all. That’s why there are so many problems at school. The teachers here help you more with your work and teach better.”
- Yovani
“Since I’ve been at CEP my attitude has changed and I’m doing more of my work. The staff here has shown me a better way of handling situations. Plus, they help those who want to learn. Out of all the places I could’ve been sent to I’m glad I was sent here.”
- Marcus
“My experience here at CEP has been wonderful. Before my arrival I had a negative view of the school system, which in the past has brought me through numerous court appearances, and meetings with various administrators at my home school. I personally credit CEP with my new outlook on education and my new desire to excel in all I do.”
- Vanessa
“CEP teaches us to know how to communicate and talk to others. It teaches us how to express ourselves. Basically CEP is helping us to see the other side of us. The side that tells people who we really are, that the color of our skin doesn’t even have a thing to do with who we really are.”
- LeGlean
“When I first started here I didn’t like it at all. Over the months I grew to like it. CEP is a structured environment and when you’re in that environment you learn to adapt. CEP has made me a better student and eager to learn more.”
- Taneshia
“I’ve started coming to school more often than I used to. I’ve stopped being disrespectful to my teachers and I started acting like a young lady. If it wasn’t for CEP I don’t know where I would be right now. But I’m happy it has changed me.”
-Dominique
“CEP has shown me how to focus, be mature, and more responsible. And because of my surroundings, and very good role models, I have grown.”
- Saleem
“CEP helped me learn how to have self control and how to live a productive life in society and how to have patience. They have also taught me how to do different kinds of math, and how to manage computers. I learn new things everyday. When I return to public school, I will be better able to control my anger because of skills I learned at
CEP.”
- Laman
“Before I came here I had no credits now I have 3 credits and I want to keep it up for the rest of year. So I’ll end up with another 3 credits and pass to the 9th grade with honor roll again. I never studied for any test but that week before finals I buckled down and studied hard and long until I had it all down in my head.”
- Michael
“I like the environment I’m in and I like the teachers here because they are alright, they are not like teachers at regular schools. They don’t scream at you every time you make a mistake. I like the kids here too because they are all people that other people would hang around.”
- Jermaine
“At my home school I did not have any respect for my teachers or authorities. Since coming to CEP everything has changed and I’m proud of it. Because it made me look at myself on the inside of me and it seems like it was always inside of me to do good.”
- Rafael
“CEP shows me people do care about my future. Most of the people in my life don’t care about what happens to me. When I came to CEP, the people here opened their arms and hearts to me, like a father and mother.”
- Gary
