I loved my experience. Miss White was able to help me straighten out my plans for after high school. I am extremely excited about the next steps of my life. Miss White has been such a great help for me!

My experience was great. I have a better understanding of my future career. What I got help the most was the career roadmap. I got the clarity I wanted. This experience gave me confidence, happiness, and overall courage.

— Lizeth, CAVA, 11^th Grade

Thank you for helping me to find direction in my career! I wouldn't have thought about getting experience in my field while still in high school if you hadn't challenged me to look into multiple fields that interested me.

— Kyan, Missouri Virtual Academy, 12^th Grade

In the coaching sessions, I really valued being able to learn about how I can take my current skills and abilities and grow and develop them in a way that would benefit me in my career and future.
