Program & Student Profile
"Dude… you’re out of control!"
So, you think you’ve got some issues? You’re not alone.
An Aftercare & Emotional Growth Program"To be honest, I never really asked to come to Benchmark. I was probably a lot like you are – I lied about how bad things really were. I used drugs and alcohol, I had a mean temper and I didn’t talk to my parents. I was never home. I was a party-animal. I didn’t care about school and I stole money from my sister. That was basically the last straw. I woke up to find a couple of burly "escorts" who were waiting to take me to a wilderness program in the middle of the night. Of course, I was on night watch and run watch. After two months in the woods, I needed an "after care" program. That’s when I came to Benchmark.
Truthfully, I wish that someone would have thought of this sooner. No one had ever shown me how to grow up emotionally, until I got here. I think many young adults would benefit from coming to Benchmark. I learned how to "deal" with stuff. I learned how to take the lessons that life throws at you and make the best of it. I learned how to talk to my family. I even apologized to my sister. Now, I face my problems head on and I know I can get through anything. I’ve got a great job, I earn my own money, and I have my own place, my own car and a cell phone. I’ve even got a girl who likes me just for who I am."
"So, don’t wait any longer. Take control of your life. Come to Benchmark Young Adult School."
