Our Student’s Story
Kirsten Reedy
At the beginning (0f attending Higher Academia) I was skeptical of if I was going to find someone or not who would be able to help me with a way of learning that would be beneficial. Or even if they would have someone at the program site that even knew what it was that I was learning. However, as I walked in the first day alone, I knew that I was going to get the help that I needed in the style that was necessary for me. I started to go in once a week, which turned into twice a week as of now. And even though it wasn't that long of a time period, I am now at least feeling somewhat prepared for what it is that that I'm doing in class. My exam is in a few days, and now I feel prepared.
