TESTIMONIALS
"Getting into college was a huge accomplishment, but navigating college itself was an even bigger challenge. Thankfully, Mrs. Gonzalez was there every step of the way. She didn’t just help me get accepted—she gave me the tools to stay on track, find opportunities, and truly made the most of my time. Whether it was academic planning, scholarships, or just learning how to advocate for myself, her guidance made all the difference. Even as I pursued my Masters, her support continued to steer me toward success. I wouldn’t be where I am today without her, and I know she’ll do the same for so many other students!” Keith, 2021

"My transition from high school to college was made much smoother thanks to the incredible support of Mrs. Lakisha Gonzalez, whom I lovingly call Ms. G. Her expertise and patience were invaluable, especially during a time when I felt overwhelmed and stressed. Her open-door policy and willingness to listen provided me with a sense of security and reassurance that I wasn't alone in navigating the challenges of college life. One of the most significant ways Ms. G supported me was by helping me build a comprehensive plan to reassure my parents about the positive factors about going to college. She provided my parents with all the necessary information and resources, to ensure that they felt comfortable with my decision. As a junior, Ms. G continues to be a vital support system for me. Whenever I need help with anything, I can text her, and she responds within minutes. This responsiveness has been especially valuable when I've needed recommendation letters, quick advice, or information on scholarship opportunities. Her commitment to my success has been unwavering, and her support has been instrumental in helping me thrive in college. I am incredibly grateful for her presence in my academic journey and for the invaluable guidance and encouragement she continues to provide.” Merrallis, 2026
“Mrs. Gonzalez’s knowledge and guidance of the transition from HS to college is second to none. She made the process so simple and seamless. Everything from FAFSA workshops, one on one assistance (at my convenience), to helping my son with looking for colleges that best suited his desires. Walking him through the application process, guiding him through the process of narrowing down his offers to see what the best fit was for him. She does it all! Her reliability and her calm consistent approach made the transition so easy and comfortable for us as a family. Our family will be utilizing her services for years to come.” Parent, 2027
