To whom it may concern; I was fortunate and am very grateful, to have had the opportunity to attend the Midland campus for my upgrading(Feb.2009-jun.2009). The teachers at that time, were instrumental in helping me to regain control of life and to realize that I am still very capable of succeeding at anything I wish to do...realistically speaking of course. Since leaving the MALC I've enrolled at Sault College in the Forestry program and will graduate Apr. 2012. I have been the recipient of several awards and scholarships and I dedicate them to the co-ordinators, teachers and secretaries who were at the MALC at the time I was, for without their guidance and friendship, it would not have become possible. I have progressed only forward since returning to school and I am now glad to greet each days challenges and look forward to the future. Thank You. Raymond Hook, Mar. 27, 2011.
