2011 alumni. I experienced the Milton Hershey story for 6 years and this thing being a cult? This school has brought so many memories to children, memories that will forever be with us. We have so many what we call brothers and sisters since that is all we really had there. They would support us through to the end. The staff there are compassionate as long as you show you are willing to grow as an individual. They showed me no matter what back ground you came from, no matter the family life or money everyone can be equal. Yes there are rules but those are in place to try to keep the family safe just like if you were trying to keep your son or daughter safe. The house parents there are very supportive with the kids unless the student doesn't care that's the thing that makes it hard. When I graduated I looked to me left and my right knowing my brothers and sisters come from all over and I probably won't see any of them like I did when I went to school there. People need to look past the money the school has and look at what they stand for. They gave me braces for my teeth, health care, mentors, experiences that I probably won't have again. Over all the school is amazing and wish I had that experience again. If anyone wants to know about my experience I won't lie nor stretch the truth. I've seen family not make it and its sad but those that fight to stay for negative get no where in life.
