These are some of the comments expressed by graduates
on the 25th anniversary of The Seed

The Seed has replaced my misery and loneliness with confidence, compassion and the ability to care for another human being.

I have been a active member of The Seed for nineteen years, there is still nothing more rewarding than to help a newcomer.

The Seed miraculously transforms druggies and alcoholics, losers and lost souls into honest, successful and decent men and women.

In our crazy and sometimes scary world, it is nice to know there is a placed called The Seed where dreams still come true.

I have a spirit of Christmas that is with me year round wherever I go which is really the spirit of The Seed.

The Seed has given me meaning, a purpose to my life, and the chance to kiss and tell my wife and daughter I love them each day.

Instead of an empty, meaningless life, The Seed has given me a heart full of love and belief that I can make a difference in this world.

I carry the gifts The Seed has given me in my heart; love, friendship, idealism, and beautiful memories to last a lifetime.

The Seed taught 7,000 druggie, losers and lost souls to find happiness in the one place they never dreamed it could be - inside themselves.

The Seed was the only place that, when I felt the most unlovable, loved me - and when I wouldn't fight for my own life - fought for me - until I learned to fight for and love myself.

No where else will you find the love, devotions and wisdom the Staff have here at The Seed.

The Seed gives you a perfect example of how life should be lived and teaches you how to live it to its fullest.

The Seed has touched my heart and soul with enough love to last a lifetime.

The Seed has converted a lonely, insecure, selfish, lying-on-the-edge of disaster individual into a warm, responsible, sensitive human being.

To see despair and disappointment replaced by hope and success is the source of my most meaningful memories.

The Seed has given me an appreciation of my life - a desire to do my best and give my best - and an appreciation for the people I love that helped save my life.

When I had just about given up all hope, The Seed gave me a second chance to have a life I can be proud of and true friends to share it with.

In a world where it is easy to be disillusioned, The Seed remains the place where love, honor and faith are restored.

For over twenty-one years I have had my life together and the most important lesson The Seed taught me is to be a caring, confident person and to live my life so I can be proud of who I am.

The Seed taught me to care about what is right and wrong, gave me confidence to stand up for the things that are right, and taught me to make a difference no matter how small.

The Seed has given me a life full of dreams
and accomplishments, but the biggest accomplishment of them all is to say: I'm a Seed kid.

The Seed has given me ...My life...My wife...My son...My daughter...Our future.

The principles taught at The Seed - love, dedication, courage and loyalty - are ageless.

The Seed put love in my heart and laughter in my life.

The Seed gave me a life far beyond my greatest hopes and dreams.
