"College
Now was the door to a new world for me. It helped me greatly. I learned
how to concentrate more on academics by identifying weak spots in my studying
process. I have found that I am business oriented and am considering a
career in that field. This would not have been possible without the College
Now program."

Now has allowed me to grow not only as a student but as a person. After

to attend college next fall. It also gave me the support I needed to exceed
standards and to achieve grades I felt were out of my reach."

"College
Now has played a pivotal part in my high school education. The experience
has made me a changed person, a better person. It made me look at a different
way of learning and improved my study habits and test-taking abilities.
I used to think that passing with a 65 was good enough, but I don't any
more. I think that high school students who have the opportunity to participate
in a College Now program should take it. They will be amazed by what they
will get from it."
