Students need an education but most importantly, they need experiences that motivate them to succeed. Last week we were fortunate enough to take 8 amazing students to Washington DC. All 8 students had never been on a plane, let alone away from their parents. Yet, they still courageously moved forward and submitted an application for our DC Trip. Please enjoy a few passages from some of our students' application.

Los estudiantes necesitan una educación, pero lo más importante, es que necesitan experiencias que los motiven a tener éxito. La semana pasada tuvimos la suerte de llevar 8 increíbles estudiantes a Washington DC. Los 8 estudiantes nunca habían estado en un avión, y mucho menos lejos de sus padres. Sin embargo, aun así avanzaron valientemente y enviaron una solicitud para nuestro viaje a DC. Disfruten de algunos pasajes de algunas de las aplicaciones de nuestros estudiantes.
