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.

SBI aided me in my success during high school and guided me through the college process, so I hope that my words might help someone on their journey.

Class of 2011 - Accepted to Elmira College

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

I have enjoyed my years at SBI. I had the opportunity to meet interesting, outgoing, & motivating people that have been nurtured into an extensive professional network. Over the years, I have grown so much and will be sure to continue to do so. to me, SBI stands for Strategically Beneficial to Individuals. 

SBI gives you a chance to shine, be outspoken and take charge. It also gives you a chance to learn how businesses run and how to make it in the corporate world. 

I feel that SBI is a program for students who wish to be successful leaders in business or another occupation. This program inspires and promotes that attitude. 

SBI has opened my eyes to things I either didn't know or didn't think possible. 

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. 

SBI has augmented my interpersonal and networking skills. I think that has allowed me to assume the position I am in now at the Blackstone Capital Brokerage Firm. 

College & career prep has gotten me off the couch and has helped me become a contributing member to my community & the workplace. I am now much less shy and have become more independent. I have established a vital professional network needed to get ahead in the future. 

I've learned how to network, communicate with people in my field, and most importantly, I've become a more responsible person. By the time I leave SBI, I know I'll have a head-start on my future compared to most students my age. 

SBI has shown me that people do care about me and what I do...that shows me how lucky I am.
