I am the oldest in my family and the first to graduate college. I had so many questions that my family couldn’t answer. Being a part of Beyond 12 and working with [my coach] Lara is like having an older sister to talk to about what was going on in my college life. Conversations I couldn’t have with anyone in my family.

My coach, Lelia, is awesome…She taught me that sometimes you’re going to go through some struggles and you just need those struggles to get stronger. When I didn’t pass one of my math classes, I called her and she motivated me and told me it was going to be ok…What I’ve learned from my coach is that everything is possible.
