At Pace, every girl’s journey is unique. For Mileigh, that journey meant rediscovering her confidence and finding the support she needed to achieve her goals.
“When I came to Pace, I was very lost. I wasn’t attending school, I was dealing with a lot of anxiety, and I wasn’t surrounding myself with the best people. Even so, I didn’t want to leave my zoned school and was pretty stressed about coming to Pace.
But Pace helped me get on the right path in life. Without it, I don’t know where I would be. Thanks to the staff and year-round classes, I got the support I needed to achieve my two biggest accomplishments: passing the Algebra EOC (after taking it multiple times) and staying motivated to finish high school a year early.
Now I’m enrolled in the Early Childhood Education program at Marchman Technical College, where I received the Academic Achievement Award, and I’m working full-time at a private preschool academy. I’ve become more of a leader and mentor. And now, even though things get hard, or I sometimes feel like I want to give up, I remember how far I’ve come and just imagine what life is going to be like in a couple of years. I KNOW I’m going to make it.”
