Mr. Aaron brings his A-game every Super Saturday and happily celebrates each of our accomplishments. His advice during college app season was amazing too, especially since he works at colleges and supports students like us.

Thank you Mr. Aaron

I am so thankful to have had you as part of my support system this year and you really made this year a breakthrough a great one!

Thanks Aaron!

Hey Aaron, it's Kevin. Thanks for being an awesome College Fellow this year! You really came in clutch with your advice and counseling during the early phase of college apps, and I can't thank you enough for your help. I'm grateful for the help when I was applying for Posse--you gave me an extra boost that helped me become a Posse Scholar. It's been fun hanging with you during our Saturdays together, and I hope you enjoy your new position at Hamilton! Stay cool :)

Thank you so much Mr. Aaron!!

Ms. Emily is always so enthusiastic on early mornings and it's really cool to someone share that energy and positivity because it can really wake a person up. She's very outgoing and you can tell she's passionate about what she does. Most of the things I've done this year wouldnt be possible without her guidance/support and this program as a whole. Thanks for all you've done!

Whenever I join her sessions, she always welcomes everyone with the extremely luminous, blinding sunshine-levels of enthusiasm! She encourages us to be who we are in the session, even if we are dead tired from waking up in the afternoon. She reminds me of a bright sunflower, a symbol of happiness and hope. Thank you for cheering me up in our Saturday Sessions. Even when I'm having a terrible start to the day, I always come out there in a positive mindset about myself. So much love and kudos to such a sweet person like yourself ♡

Love,
