Student Perspective: Persisting while in College

"After the first semester of college, I told my College Visions advisor about my experience. She supported me in growing as a college student and doing a better job. She encouraged me to keep my head held high, and helped me focus on the next semester and to try harder for what I actually wanted. Then in the spring of 2013, I was introduced to my RELAAY advisor, which completed my network of support for college. Seeing that I was doing better than before made me continue wanting to do better."
