When I was asked to write a few words about how MAX has helped me, I had no clue on what I should say. Not because MAX hasn’t helped me, but because of all the tremendous things that being a student at MAX has taught me spiritually, mentally, and physically. First off, MAX has taught me to never give up despite the challenges; there is always away around leaning. It may not be the same strategies that everyone else uses but, it is what helps me learn best at the end. Lastly, God always has a plan.

My 6 years at Max has given me self-esteem, confidence, and knowledge. I’m in my 2nd semester of college and proud to say I have maintained a 3.8 GPA. I have no doubt that without MAX I would not be where I am today.
