Quotes from students:
"Joining Career Beginnings is one of the greatest things I've ever done. I probably wouldn't be going to college without it. With Career Beginnings and my mentor behind me, I know I can do it."
Ernie Hernandez, senior at A. I. Prince Technical High School
"[My mentor] has helped me in a lot of ways I couldn't even count. She was always there for me, whenever I had a question she was always there with an answer. I was so confused coming into this whole college process because I didn't know where to start, but she helped each step of the way and we began our journey one step at a time. Without her this would have been a much longer and harder process than I could have ever imagined, and I don't know how I would have made it through."
-Christina Pariaug

The essay writing workshop gave us different techniques we could use with our college essays."

I also get a chance to mingle in a different cultural and economic scene from my own and I learn so much from these wonderful young women. To top it off, I get a lifelong friend."
