Selena
"Being in the program has motivated me to challenge myself and work hard in successfully taking AP, AICE and honor-level classes throughout high school and has made my relationship with God much closer."
Ximena
"It has always been difficult for me to stay on task and focused at school, causing my grades to plummet. When I joined New Horizons, they helped me focus and made me realize the importance of getting better grades. I have gotten on the A/B honor roll and had perfect attendance many times since then."
Nicole
"Throughout the years, [Club Directors] Mr. Luis and Mrs. Esther have made a positive impact on my life. They’ve helped me in every aspect of my relationship with God and given me motivation to strive for a better future. This program has given me opportunities I would never have imagined in my life."
Yesenia
"New Horizons is more than just a program to me; it helped shape who I am today. Now I am not scared for my future. I know what my plans are and I will achieve them."
Nirvana
"Because of New Horizons, my parents and I won't be frantically panicking about how I'm going to pay off college or technical school. They assisted me in applying for scholarships and due to this I have now obtained not one but two scholarships... These scholarships will contribute to being the first person in my family to follow their dream career."
Yessica
"At first, I would hang out with people that did not have the best influence on me but as time went on, new staff like [Club Director] Mrs. Esther really had a big impact on me. I used to not care about school but she would sit down with me and talk about life. She helped me change my mindset."
Britney
"I have been attending New Horizons since I was in 6th grade. I keep coming because this is a place where I can go and ask for help when I need it. I am very shy but they have always been there when I needed them."
Jonathan
"I used to have trouble with my history classes due to the complex and specific words that are found in books, but thanks to help from volunteers I managed to understand, breaking down each class in a more understandable way."
Jimena
"Through this program I have learned things about myself and life. I learned to be more patient, compassionate, empathetic, hard-working, confident, and to be more respectful to myself."
Francisco
"When I first started school, I struggled to read books and speak English well. I actually failed 1st grade because of this struggle. New Horizons saw this and would make me read a couple pages and ask me questions about what I read. Even though I hated doing this, it helped me in the long run and I am now an honor roll student. "
