“When I came from Nigeria, I did not know what to expect from the people I was going to meet. But since I have been here, this has been a home away from home. Though it has not been easy, especially this year, with the help of the great people here, I have being able to overcome all obstacles. I want to say thank you to all of the staff and teachers. I know there is nothing I can do to repay everything they’ve done for me. May God bless you richly. To my coach and teammates, I have had a wonderful two years with you, and I have learned a lot from you…. I say a special thanks to Mr. Charlie, Brian Taylor, Mrs. Sabina, Mr. and Mrs. Douglas, Amanda, and Dr. Collins for all their help and support. I will miss Brehm. I know I have to move on, but every place my foot has tread upon and every student and staff member here at Brehm will always be in my heart, most especially James. Thanks, Brehm, for the great opportunity to be a better student, a better man, and a better basketball player.

“I would like to thank Amanda for helping guide me though my first year. I wouldn’t know what to do without her coming into my life. Next, I would like to make a big shout out to Dr. Brian Brown for being there for me when I needed him. Thanks to Pam Altman for scheduling the recreation on the weekends and during the week. I appreciate Mark Denzer for taking me on the SOAR Trip while he was here. Brian Taylor was awesome for spending the extra time at Long Branch with me his first year. I would especially like to thank Theresa Miller for problem-solving with me during some rough times and John Barnes for the support you have given. Now, I want to shout out to the faculty, especially Chrissy Strusz. Chrissy has taught me a lot about life and how to manage it and teaching me how to use the computer and camera. Chrissy has been a big inspiration to me…. Charlie Travelstead, John Bertsch, Mike Hosmon, and Bud Childers have been giving me a lot of advice and support throughout my time here. Finally, I want to thank Barb Drew for all of the support and aid she has given. And to Mike Hanson for teaching me new strategies in math…. I will miss you all, and I hope for the best of luck in your future. Thank you.”

“I’m an outsider by choice, but not truly. It’s the unpleasantness of the system that keeps me out. I’d rather be in a good system. And that’s exactly what I got here at Brehm. If it hadn’t been for newfound friends and a plethora of fabulous teachers, two great parents, and most of all, a very caring brother, I most likely wouldn’t be here today. As far as teachers go, I really want to thank three of them: Mrs. Suzy Lanning-Ventura, Mr. Richard Ventura, and Lance Williams. Those teachers are the ones who helped me through the hard times in school. The friends I want to thank, some of whom are up here with me today, are Neil, Eli, Hillary, Anna, and especially Dan. These guys saw me through the hard times and were always there to help. I can’t thank them enough. My mother and father have been the driving force behind my time here at Brehm. I’d also like to thank my dorm parents, Jason, Ingrid, and all of the dorm assistants for their patience with me. But most of all, I need to extend a thanks to my little brother, Austen…. Things have been looking up steadily for me. Next year, I’m headed to a transition program in Buffalo, New York. And from there, it’s on to one of the best schools in the country, RIT, where I hope to bring out the best of myself and really push myself to the limits of what I can do with my designs. But if it hadn’t been for Brehm, none of this would have happened. And so now, I’d like to thank each and every one of you for your time, caring, and kindness. Thank you.”

“I want to say thank you to Dr. Collins for letting me come to Brehm School and giving me a really great experience. I want to say thank you to Brad Sims for helping me out with everything. I want to say thank you to my dorm parents and staff, Jason, Ingrid, Kristen, Jay, and Ed. They helped us with everything. I want to say thank you to the recreation staff. I want to say thank you, teachers, for teaching me and helping me with my work. Thank you to Ellie . You are really my best friend ever. I want to say thank you to Mom and Dad for sending me to school. It was awesome. I love you, Mom and Dad.”

“Before I came to Brehm Prep, I was just a basketball player. My old school didn’t really care about academics like Brehm does, and I really didn’t know how to study for a test or speak up to advocate for help. When I first came to Brehm, it was a big change in my life. I thought I was going to lose friends because I went to a different school. As my first year went by at Brehm, I started to make new friends, find ways to help myself study for tests, and also advocate for extra time on work or just ask for help with something I didn’t understand…. For my successful years at Brehm, I have to thank the teachers here who spent their free time to make sure I got the help that I needed. I’m so grateful to have teachers who care this much about their students and also our academics.”
