"Since day one, Teen Lift has been an outlet for me and, in my opinion, everyone else who did it. It gave us all an opportunity to stay physically fit and travel to places few of us have never been, me especially. I was able to travel to places like Virginia, Iowa, and even Nebraska to compete.

Teen Lift also served as a way out of Statesboro for me. It helped me realize that there was a world outside of Statesboro much bigger and full of opporunity.

"Mr. an Mrs. Campbell served as second family to me and pushed me to get good grades along with my parents.

I remember one instance where I just didn't want to do geometry (my least favorite subject) and Mrs. Campbell would come to my classes and MAKE SURE I was doing what I needed to. "

"In a way, I credit Teen Lift for showing that track could pay for college and showing me how to do it."

 "Through a combination of great coaching by Coach Campbell, hardwork, and talent, I was awarded a scholarship at Savannah State University to continue my education. I have been a member of the Teen Lift Track Club and family since I was in the seventh(7th) grade and plan to remain in it and support Teen Lift!"
