“Looking back on my time at CMASAS, I’m incredibly proud of how far I’ve come. It wasn’t always easy—there were definitely roadblocks along the way—but with the support of my amazing mom, Course Instructors, PEC, and others who truly cared, I learned how to navigate challenges and keep going. Their encouragement helped me stay focused and build confidence in myself.

One of my proudest moments this year was being inducted into the National Honor Society. I also had the incredible opportunity to be part of the St. Jude Leadership Society and even got to tour the hospital—an experience I’ll never forget.

What I loved most about CMASAS was the flexibility. Being able to learn anytime, anywhere gave me the space to grow on my own terms while still reaching my academic goals.

My advice to other students? Start with your easiest classes so you have the time and energy to focus on the tougher ones. And don’t be afraid to ask questions—reaching out really does make a difference.”
