You have been an inspiration to me from getting my GED and now taking credit classes to staying clean and doing the next right thing in staying plugged into the recovery process, you are leading the way for young people as well as some of the older folks like myself.

Way to go Tony!! We had one writing class together almost two years ago and I can still remember the camaraderie that existed in our group. That was one of the best classes as PCC. I also read about your scholarship from Coca-Cola… that’s amazing! Keep up the good work!

Tony you have been an example and an inspiration for me. I thank you for knowing what you want and going for it not just to help yourself but to assist others. I have started this journey at the age of 50 + feeling like I can do this. Watching you and how you have welcomed me into parts of your life has been a big opportunity for me. I so proud of you.
