After experiencing turmoil in my personal life and switching schools throughout my freshman and sophomore year of high school, AAA came to the rescue. As I say goodbye, I reflect on how special it is for teachers at a school to know not only the names of all of their students, but to know their intellect and heart. The teachers took time for each and every student to help them where they were struggling. This was my experience at AAA.
The opportunity to take courses at FIU and explore my interests beyond basic high school curriculum shaped me and allowed me to mature and grow. Even more so, my connection to the teachers, counselor, and faculty within the program gave me confidence. After two years at AAA, I feel excited and ready to fly across the country and embrace an unfamiliar place. I send my deepest thank yous to the people at AAA who push students, like myself, to find themselves.
