After six years in our caring community, Chris says that good time management and gratitude are the two most important pieces of wisdom he’ll be taking with him.

He especially wants to thank Mr. and Mrs. Self for the many lessons they’ve imparted to him.

This summer Chris will spend some time traveling before returning to Amarillo, Texas, to start classes in the fall at Amarillo College.

Thanks to our kind supporters, Chris and the many other young people at Boys Ranch have the chance to pursue a college education, trade school or start careers when they leave our care. For Chris, the tuition cost for attending Amarillo College this year is $3,042. With your help today, Chris — and all the boys and girls in our care — can create successful futures!
