“Mr. Gordy made me see that I had a unique and interesting perspective of my own to share. He was someone I could bounce ideas off without giving me a definitive answer—forcing me to choose for myself what was really important.” 

“She helped me get ready for scholarship interviews that were really stressing me out,” MyLe said. “She read through my essays, forced me to work on them, and to find and fix my mistakes. I wouldn’t have gotten as many scholarships as I did without Hayley.” 

“Having a plan A and B is not enough. Even A, B, C is not enough. You need to fully understand as many possibilities as you can. I had a plan A B C D and even my backup plans fell through, once I started looking more closely. Understand what your choices really mean so you can try to land on a plan you can be happy with. Even from just talking about leveraging offers to different colleges. Learning how to be an advocate for myself.”

“Senior year there’s just so much going on. But I think it was my best year because I accomplished so many things. And finding help from the Future Center about all the different resources that I didn’t know existed.”

“Without Mr. Gordy’s help, I would have had a lot more stress and anxiety. Students wouldn’t know what to do. They wouldn’t have the push or the drive provided by Mr. Gordy to get through the process. Mr. Gordy is a great man.

“I can guarantee I would not have as much scholarship money if I did not have Ms. Moe’s help in the Future Center. I also would have been way behind on FAFSA, and the little details would have gone right over my head. Ms. Moe has made me more accountable.  One example – I wasn’t going to apply to one of the scholarships I eventually got.”  

“Mr. Gordy taught me how to follow deadlines and prioritize better. I feel a little scared actually about the demands of college, but I feel like I’m pretty prepared now thanks to his help and how he encouraged me to meet those demands head-on.”

“Thank you so much for all you do at the Future Center. The college process has been one of the most confusing and stressful things I’ve ever navigated, not to mention scholarship applications and more. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without Ms. Moe’s consistent and helpful advice and assistance.”

“We really built a relationship, which made it easier to talk through things I was facing for college. The Future Center was a safe haven for me and I felt Ms. Moe really knew my interests.”
