Cyclones Stories

I’ve been loving meeting new people every day. Everybody is so welcoming here, and it’s really cool because you can learn different points of view and perspectives of people from all over.

This school, man. I love how this school has so many different options to choose from where to study.

Find something you’re going to love. Find something you’ll be happy doing a long time. Find something in an area that really tickles your curiosity and you want to know more about.

Do what you want. Especially this time in life, people get caught up in what they should be doing. Pursue what your needs are and what you want to do.

You’re together here more than you are typically with your family during the week. We all supported each other, and it just felt good.

There are many people around us who can help us, and we can look for that if we need help. We have a lot of help around us.

Don’t be scared of different programs. Go check them out and see what we have to offer.

It is the fastest 20 minutes of your life. When the lights are on, it goes really fast.

When I was here, we had, for example, specialized reading machines that would read text, and it was very labor intensive. And now your phone will do that. To even that playing field for students has just been something tremendous.

I always recommend to come in and just ask for help. I didn’t know where to fill out the FAFSA or where to fill out the application for college.
