My experience with the Promise Scholars Program was amazing. I was able to build relationships and bonds with other students that had similar life stories. I learned that it is extremely important to use every resource that is presented to you whether it’s counseling, tutoring, and so much more. I also learned to believe in myself and have confidence that I can do anything I put my mind to…when I walked across that stage, I was overjoyed. With the help of this program, I know my future is bright, but success doesn’t just happen; you have believe in yourself, make the necessary steps, connections with the right people, utilize your resources, stay dedicated, and tackle all of your goals.
