Life changing

Being able to participate in the Athena program was a life-changing experience. I found a whole new world and in that world a whole new community along with friends and family. From the first day of meeting my family and being nervous to see what they would look like how they would react; to the last day of unstoppable crying having to leave them. The program not only provided growth towards my education, but it provided growth towards my independence, emotional growth, and overall person growth.
