Where Are They Now? Our success is best measured by the success of our students. Real Ranch ~ Real Values ~ Celebrating 30 Years of Real Change! Lili D. Turn-About Ranch Alumni (88 Days in 2002) My parents sent me to Turn-About Ranch when I was 16 (ultimately a better decision than anyone could have guessed it would be at the time). I graduated from the program after 88 days and went on to graduate high school back at home. While I did hit a few bumps after high-school, luckily I was able to pull my life back together. One thing I learned from Turn-About was that even if you stumble (or even fall flat on your face), you have the choice (and the power) to get back up! After turning 21 I was offered a summer job helping with the horsemanship program at Turn-About Ranch. I always loved horses, but didn’t know how much I would love working with the kids. That summer job turned into 5 wonderful years living in Escalante and working at Turn-About Ranch. Some of the best memories in my life are from that time and I still daydream about it often. I’m currently living back in Rochester, NY and working full time with the developmentally disable (a position that I absolutely love). I have 2 dogs, 2 cats (one of Casper's kittens!) and a horse of course! Thank you for everything Turn-About Ranch! https://ift.tt/2J3PMfT
