Audrey McCarus

Before coming to the Academy, I was somewhat timid. But as I began to make friends here, I was able to come out from my shell. By participating more in our community, I attracted a strong support group who helped me in every aspect of life. This group of friends also inspired me to be more dedicated to my studies. Being at the Academy showed me that challenging myself, socially and academically, was the best thing I could do to build a brighter future for myself.
