I'm thankful to have attended a high school that allowed me the opportunity to offer academic support to my peers. There were no material incentives - the rewards were intrinsic.

It continued to be something I enjoyed, and it ultimately led to me directing a tutoring program - the Let's Get Ready program, a...More
