“When I first started out, I was an ambitious student who had huge dreams and goals but little resources. I had numerous difficulties as a teenager, such as homelessness and family member loss, but I made an effort to keep going. When I wanted to give up, Outreach and the people around me encouraged me to persevere so that I could get to where I am today. As a result, I was able to accomplish a lot more than I ever imagined.”
