How did you get involved with Liberty Partnerships?
My freshman year a friend brought me down a few times for lunch and then it really kicked off my junior year when I needed a safe place and the Liberty partnership room was that place for me.

What are some of your favorite activities/programs that you did through Liberty Partnerships?Going to NYC, the random field trips, playing uno in the room, and I loved being able to get connections to things that I needed help with.

Describe how Liberty partnerships shaped your life both in and out of classroom?
I gained friendships, had an outlet to go to when I needed help, I gained the tools of success for when I left high school, I got help getting into college, and soooo much more.

What are you most proud of?
Where I am in life right now. My coordinator, Emily Kimble has really helped me mature, grow and gave me the tools to succeed in the stages of life after high school.

What advice do you have for current students?
Reach out when you need help, listen to those giving you meaningful advice & be ready to grow as a person. Though I thought I was already mature for my age something about LPP really boosted that and prepared me for the real world.
