The AAPLE Academy has provided amazing opportunities that I would not have had otherwise. From attending two leadership conferences to the opportunity to see different colleges in California and on the East Coast, I have been offered incredible experiences that prepare me for college. I really appreciate my personal relationship with my counselors who have taken the time to connect with me and understand my academic and personal goals and needs. My cohort class has become close with each other and I look forward to the time I spend with my motivated and intelligent peers. Every day I am thankful to be a student in the AAPLE Academy.
