Making my decision of joining the College Awareness Program solidified a gateway to countless opportunities and a newfound perspective on what it means to achieve. After graduating high school, I felt as if my options were limited.

With the help of CAP, I entered a new world of open doors beyond my academic expectations. I am now a Junior in college and have experienced chances of a lifetime through internships abroad, extracurricular activities and student leadership skills. Learning at a historically Black College has also broadened my view on being successful as a people. I couldn’t imagine a more life –guiding path to graduation without my experiences as a young Black scholar. My future depends on my journey through achievement and those who I bring along with me. I take part in counting on those who motivated me from the College Awareness Program, as they were the first to bring me along with them.
