Your help made her a better student and a more developed young adult. You also helped her discover her talents and self-worth. The match you helped her make with TCU is brilliant, and she is so happy. Her mother and I could not be happier with our decision to turn to you and your colleagues for help during this formative time in [her] life. I appreciate all the hard work and dedication ... your efforts were truly above and beyond the call of duty. For these, our family will be eternally grateful!<img src="images/quote-end.gif" width="11" height="9" alt="quote" /></p> <hr /> <p><img src="images/quote-start.gif" width="11" height="9" alt="quote" />[K.] loves Harvard.
