COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENT
I appreciate your help so much, thank you. It's nice to know that there are people out there willing to help others so they won't feel lost during the process.

I think this is a wonderful program. The students had no idea that these careers existed, and at the same time I saw them really get into it.
