“I had the joy of teaching a student last year when she was in 7th grade; I am also her science teacher this 2018-2019 school year. Last year she did not attend school very often and her grades suffered. She seemed to have no drive at all. This year she is a part of MEGA Mentors and is attending school more, and she even checks her grades weekly to make sure she is not falling behind in any of her classes. This is a huge step for her. She attends all the field trips provided by MEGA Mentors and she is even becoming more social, I have also noticed how she isn’t afraid to speak up and advocate for herself or others. She is one of many students that come to mind when I think about the impact of this program. I am so excited to get a chance to witness greatness.”
