When Nora entered high school, she was struggling—failing a semester and missing days due to declining mental health. Hopeful for support, she and her family discovered Pace. Nora found staff and teachers who provided structure, compassion, and guidance, helping her set goals and rebuild confidence. In less than two years, she caught up academically and gained the emotional tools to thrive. She completed her diploma months early, earned scholarships, and is now pursuing a career in 3D animation at St. Petersburg College.
