CollegeCore offered the warmth of a close friend while also providing the opportunities, motivation, and encouragement to bridge the gap between my aspirations and reality. My counselor is quite possibly the only person who is and has been, capable of actually getting me to get up and start. As someone who has and struggles with ADHD, starting tasks, and trying new things, especially maintaining and remaining consistent with certain initiatives felt like such a challenge. CollegeCore however, has given me the confidence of being able to accomplish goals through my independent efforts while also providing enough handholding to never feel lost. I never thought that I could be admitted into a top 25 College, a part of the New York Academy of Sciences, or start my non-profit STEM-Ed organization, etc, etc. These accomplishments have only been made possible through my journey with CollegeCore.
