I joined Reaching for Success the summer before my first year of high school and I have no regrets and am filled with appreciation. Reaching for Success exposes me to different opportunities and programs that I would not have known about. This program has helped me in so many ways. When I was unable to find places to volunteer last summer, due to COVID-19, R4S provided me with numerous virtual opportunities to gain volunteer hours through activities like tutoring and cooking sessions. This program pushes me to reach my full potential and it gives me hope that I’ll be able to attend the college of my dreams because of their endless support. The mentors at Reaching for Success care about the students and are willing to do all that it takes to help them in and out of school with advice about college, homework, or any other topic. I am very grateful for this program.

Reaching for success has helped me grow academically. Specifically, this program has allowed me to think about the next few steps towards choosing a college. It has allowed me to see a different perspective when choosing a college such as thinking of what I want to gain from that school. Overall, reaching for success has prepared me as a student and showed me what to expect. I will carry these lessons and keep in mind everything I have learned through this program as I take the next few steps towards my future.
