With Coach Kate and the support of my mother, I was able to continue to fight that uphill battle and eventually get to the top.

What I appreciated most about ReUp was having someone to hold me accountable —somebody who’s telling me, ‘OK, now this is the goal that you’ve set. Where are you on this goal?'

I knew that now was the time to buckle up and get college done, no matter how hard that was, and having a resource like ReUp helped me do that. Having someone to listen to the things I was struggling with was beneficial.

It was a big decision to go back to school and to have ReUp there made it less daunting. I feel like I always have someone in my corner!
