“Use the Future Center as much as you can because it helped me so much with financial aid, scholarships, college application stuff, and writing essays. I feel like I had a really smooth college application process.
School did not always come easy to Emma. Growing up severely dyslexic with moderate ADHD, Emma had trouble liking school. “I felt like I had to work harder than everyone else to find what worked for me. Once I figured that out, I really liked going to school, and they were all super supportive.” At Central High School, Emma is an upbeat, outgoing student who is actively involved in sports and supports her classmates at games and events.
During her senior year when she got stuck on her college application, Emma knew she needed to visit the Future Center, and from there a solid relationship was built. Emma frequently spent her release period in the Future Center working on her applications, FAFSA, and scholarships in addition to talking about things that were fun and uplifting.
Emma will navigate her next adventure at the University of St. Thomas. She plans to study exercise science or biology but is really looking forward to being a student-athlete as a member of their track and field team. She leaves this advice to students, “Use the Future Center as much as you can because it helped me so much with financial aid, scholarships, college application stuff, and writing essays. I feel like I had a really smooth college application process.”
