“Something my parents helped me with for getting ready for life after graduation would have been FAFSA. My parents were able to explain and show to me the way FAFSA, and educational financial support works as a whole. It was challenging at first getting to wrap my head around it all, but I eventually made sense of it. I’m very appreciative of them for it.”

“Who would have seen that in 2020 I would be off to college, have my own place and be the first to graduate. Penn State I have done for the last 3 years and now KU I start in the fall. I am proud of the young man I am today.”

-EJ Velez
“I’m doing pretty well now, all things considered, so I’d amount that success to in-school counseling. My counselor was and is an amazing person, and I honestly don’t know how to thank her for helping me and my family through rough patches in my high school career.”
