I especially enjoyed your workshops. I feel they taught me a lot of valuable information, especially regarding college and careers.

I struggle a lot with myself. Nursing is very competitive, and I feel like I’m probably not going to get in, but my mentor, Ms. Jamani King, saw my passion and told me I could do it if I put my mind to it. She has helped me realize I have potential to do more than I expect.
