I was worried it may have been boring, but I've never laughed, cried so hard and learned at the same time in a fun way. I liked how you incorporated your family in with it. It made it more real. It gave me that little push of inspiration to get involved and help others too.

I learned many strategies about taking the Act test and also writing a "special" scholarship application.

Steve Glazier
from Northern Oklahoma College Enid, OK
It has been my experience adults can tell students to study, take a practice test blah blah blah. Without motivation they don't take it seriously. You not only give good ideas, but also the motivation/enthusiasm needed to begin studying. To keep (290) high school Juniors and Seniors attention without any trouble/commotion is without a doubt impress
