Northwestern Preparatory School, California
Oh goody, another day in which to excel!
I wanted to let you know that I've been offered an appointment to USAFA.  There truly aren't enough words to adequately thank you for all the guidance and support you have given me.  I am very grateful for having the opportunity to attend NWP.  Thank you so much for helping me to realize my true potential and giving me the confidence to succeed.  I will always cherish my NWP experience and all that I've learned …

…I just wanted to thank you for everything. This past year has been absolutely crazy, stressful, and emotionally and physically challenging, but I would not have wanted anything different. My time on the mountain was an invaluable experience. I met friends that I know I will have for the rest of my life. It gave me the gateway to my lifetime goal, and most importantly made me fully realize that this is what I want and there are no longer doubts flooding through my mind. I cannot thank you enough for everything that you have done for me and the opportunities that have been offered to me. I was able to gain the confidence in myself … The day after I arrived back home from California I had my nomination interview and the board said that they didn't even recognize me this year, not because I looked any different, but because of my demeanor. They said I seemed very confident in myself and sure of my decision to attend USMA. The following week I received a phone call from the nomination office informing me that I received (a top) nomination because the board was impressed with my confidence and tenacity. I owe a huge part of that to you and what you have done for me on that mountain top. You made me believe in myself and that was ultimately the one thing that has held me back. I will never be able to thank you enough or repay you for everything that you have done. Thank you.

We thank you for your mentorship.  Our son is ten times the candidate I was as a result of this extra year in your program... 
+++++++
I am extremely grateful for everything you have taught me and for all the experiences I have had at Northwestern Preparatory. The things you have taught me have already helped me immensely and I have no doubt that they will continue to aid me in the future.
+++++++
My Northwestern Prep experience was one that I'll never forget, and I am unbelievably glad I stumbled upon the small school on the mountain. What you do, the lives you touch and change for the better, is amazing. I am so grateful for it.

I got my appointment to (a second Academy) today!! While I already accepted West Point's offer, I'm still excited and I thought I would let you know.I truly feel blessed to have met you and I will never be able to thank you enough for pushing and encouraging me to do well. Thank you for everything you have done for me.
Oh Goody, Another Day in Which to Excel!!

+++++++
I will do everything in my power to succeed in every way and make all of you proud at the Academy and beyond!  Than you again! I would not be the person I am today without all of you and I cannot wait to see you in 4 months at the Academy!! :D
+++++++

 
Also, I wanted to tell you what an excellent program NWP has been for our daughter. She has always been a wonderful person (yes, I'm a tainted Mom!!),emo1 but now she is also very self-assured and so focused.   I love it and wish I had gone to NWP before USNA!!  She really learned so much and actually misses it!  .....and from what I hear, your leadership and mentorship were invaluable.   Thank you!!
