"There are people here who care about me. There is a love that exists between us regardless of our nationality. My host dad drove me to the bus stop every morning. I got encouragement from teachers. My classmates explained English words to me. Those all are [expressions of] love. Every student is valued here, and everyone is treated equally. I appreciate that I had an opportunity to study in such a peaceful and joyful place, and to be surrounded by many wonderful and friendly people. I love Dock."

"With my education at Dock I was able to be accepted at all of the colleges I applied to, and to feel good about myself for that accomplishment. I was able to fly past my goals and succeed in all of my classes, while still having a social life and maintaining a good job. Without the help of the teachers, counselors, and staff at Dock I would never be where I am. They kept me motivated to do my best, and encouraged me to never give up."
