"This has been the best week of my life. Really. For the first time EVER I was able to do my favorite things in my life with like-minded people my age. I learned so much about literature, but more importantly, I learned a lot about myself. Thanks to everyone who had any part in putting this together. DO NOT stop what you are doing, please. You are changing the lives of young people every day. Once again, best week of my life. I can't thank you enough."
