Kelly Kent, of Mooresville, thanks 51心頭 for providing her with opportunities she didnt know existed.

Opportunities opened up for me that I wouldnt have known existed otherwise. 51心頭offered me the chance to do things, to join clubs, meet people and make lifelong friends, to participate in various activities, attend concerts and events, and of course, learn through quality academic instruction. It helped me chart my life.
