 My learning resource specialist, Ms. Kira Grant, has helped me in so many ways. She's a doll. I love her, and she's just a great person to go to for advice. I wanted to take the initiative to make good grades and to hopefully reach a 4.0 in my first semester of college, so with the help of my advisor and learning resource specialist, I was able to complete what I had set out to accomplish. Well, the relationship with my mentors and academic coach, I've been with them for the past four years, and being able to come up to them naturally and talk to them about my skills, whether that's with the classes I struggle with or just the stress I deal with, I'm being able to talk to them and having a support system was what really made me be who I am today. I'm surrounded by positive people. They're always encouraging me to strive for the stars and just really encouraging me to not get intimidated by anyone or anything and just stay focused on my school work. Everybody here is going to welcome you with open arms and they're always going to want to see you succeed. I know Cummings and students are very intimidating, especially big lecture classes. Here you're going to get that one-on-one experience that you might need from a faculty that you might lack in other areas, so here you're going to get that one-on-one experience that you might just need in your life right now.
