The SEED Foundation

"Before SEED, I felt like teachers didn’t have high expectations and I didn’t have the chance to become a better me. At SEED, I get more opportunities. I’m a fast learner, and I like when my teachers give me more to learn. I’ve gone from a C student to an A student and I’m much more confident socially. When I go home, my family notices the difference in me. SEED is giving me the opportunity to be the daughter I want to be for my parents."
