I graduated from Randolph in 2014 and I was in SCAI and the captain of Latin DVD. Being a part of CCPI I found myself surrounded by fellow students of color who were motivated to pursue a higher education. Through our extensive training, I was prepared for college and I had been granted the skills that I needed to assume adult responsibilities.

I was in SCAI and a Captain of Latin DVD. CCPI helped me through my entire college process. 2nd semester of my junior year I took SAT prep the entire semester; with several practice tests included. My college applications were reviewed with caution various times. Through SCAI I also went on multiple college trips which helped decide what kind residential school I wanted to go to. CCPI also helped recognize how much I love to lead and dance by being Latin DVD captain. Mr. Thompson allowed me to connect with my mentors and advisors.

Being part of SCAI and an Honorary member of CCPI has provided me with so many benefits. I know a lot of people say that, but few really mean it wholeheartedly. SCAI and CCPI provides a family for everyone in the programs. Everyone knows each other, and everyone wants to achieve the same dream. The dream to graduate college with a bachelor degree, and to have a good future.They say that the people you surround yourself with is what you become. CCPI and SCAI surrounds with achievers,dream-believers, and life-changers

SBI has been an enlightening and intellectual experience for me. I've learned how to network, be consistent & precise in my work, and how to address others professionally. I only hope everyone could have had these same advantages and experiences as me.
