“When I first began this journey with BPI, I was overwhelmed. A college student was not something I was supposed to be. However, the professors, who believed in me more than I believed in myself, gave me the push that I yearned for; the push that I needed to help me understand that I had to sacrifice and commit to the hard work in order to be a college student, in order to escape this madness that became my life.”
