ACE gave me the opportunity to start/restart college.  It is convenient and affordable.  It changed my life. Even though I had many struggles, I was determined to graduate and show other students that they can do this too.

It’s been a way to follow in his footsteps. I have dreams, everyone has dreams, and I would like to accomplish them, and I know this is the way to do it, by going through education. It’s been a way to do what I have to do to succeed.
