PEP means relief for my wife – as opposed to burn out from teaching every subject of multiple grade levels or even just one grade of junior high or high school, besides accomplishing all of her other responsibilities.

Deep thanks to all of my beloved PEP co-op tutors, who have ensured my survival, if not thorough enjoyment, of the academic life here. Any writing assignments I have thus far have been very doable. I never thought I would say thank you for making me write a 12-page paper, but here I am. :) Math is not so daunting, and I will never have to take a Calculus class because my SAT score in math was adequate. Next term, if I am to take a science class, I will probably choose Chemistry or the like. Also something I never thought I would say. Spanish class is going very well, and I'm in the Spanish 210 rather than 110. And the convocations here!!! Is anyone else in this college as excited as I am about seeing Aretha Franklin, Yo-Yo Ma, Romeo and Juliet by the Tchaikovsky Ballet and Orchestra and others? Thank you Mrs. Futoran, your love for beauty and culture is infectious. Thank you to EVERYONE at PEP, you have given me so much energy and passion and love of learning and the DETERMINATION to do all that I can and the best that I can do. PEPers ROCK!!

Today, I wanted to inform you that I will be attending Xavier University in the fall. I found out that I had been awarded the full tuition scholarship worth just under $120,000. I never would have gotten here if it hadn't been for your help and for the help of my parents. Despite what I previously thought, the college application process does not look less enormously difficult in hindsight, and I am very grateful to you for your help.

I want to thank you for what you are accomplishing with my daughter.  This course has been a lot harder than she anticipated (although I tried to warn her), and she has worked very hard.  She even had doubts at first as to whether she could do this, but we were adamant that she stick with this because we knew it would be a good experience - in several ways - for her.  She has gained a lot more confidence in herself and is learning a great deal.  One of the critical things that she has learned is not to procrastinate and to prioritize her time.  Mom and Dad can teach these things until we go crazy sometimes; but it often takes an outsider to get some of these concepts through.  We have seen some very noticeable and positive changes in her study habits as well since classes started - and that is VERY GOOD!

I know you have taken on a tremendous burden with these kids; and in my daughter's case, you ARE making a big difference in her life.  From my wife and I - THANK YOU!!!

I am so thankful for PEP because it is TRULY an extension of what we are teaching our children.  It is so important and such a blessing to have this program in our children's lives which confirms what we teach and is an encouragement to them.  It is also such a wonderful blessing to have the "school atmosphere" for them to enjoy without having to combat Satan's schemes from ungodly teachers and administrators and even other students.

We praise God for you and PEP.

Thank you for all of the time, effort and heart you put into this program.  It has been a challenging and educational experience for our son.  He focused his attention, organized his schedule and met this challenge head on.  We are looking forward to next year.
