"Project Success has helped me to not only understand school better, but teaches me life skills that will help me once I graduate. Growing up without a father consistently present was taking a toll on my life. I was angry and a tormented person. It was through this program that I found allies and positive role models who have given me opportunities I never would have imagined. I no longer think the world is out to get me but instead I understand the power that I hold over my destiny and how I can contribute to the change I want to see in my neighborhood."
