Founder's Statement
"I believe that this type of service is one that can help students accomplish their goals of graduation whether it is from high school, undergraduate education, or graduate school. Speaking from experience as a student, I remember feeling overwhelmed at times when my studies and my personal life seemed to be too much. It was my belief in myself, finding my inner strength to persevere, learning effective stress management and effective learning strategies, and guidance through mentors that helped me through the toughest moments in my educational journey."
