“Every Saturday I am excited to go.  I literally wish it was longer because time passed so fast. I met new people, and got closer to others. There’s something about seeing kids learn that gives you this really warm feeling in your heart.  I hope the friendships I made will last forever.   I learned how to be more outspoken, and open to trying new things. I really wouldn’t trade it for anything else. I’m so thankful I got the opportunity to be involved in not so much an academy, but a family.”
