Fork Union has helped me develop a lot as an individual. While being a student here has had its ups and downs. It is taught me how to be an effective leader. Iv made a great deal of friends being here and the community is for the most part friendly. This is an experience unlike any other. I do not regret my time spent here.

My son did...
