As we enter this season of giving, we\u2019re filled with gratitude \u2014 for our dedicated team, the families we serve, and compassionate supporters like you who make every success story possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Pace, every girl\u2019s journey is unique. For Mileigh, that journey meant rediscovering her confidence and finding the support she needed to achieve her goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen I came to Pace, I was very lost. I wasn\u2019t attending school, I was dealing with a lot of anxiety, and I wasn\u2019t surrounding myself with the best people. Even so, I didn\u2019t want to leave my zoned school and was pretty stressed about coming to Pace.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n But Pace helped me get on the right path in life. Without it, I don\u2019t 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.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Now I\u2019m enrolled in the Early Childhood Education program at Marchman Technical College, where I received the Academic Achievement Award, and I\u2019m working full-time at a private preschool academy. I\u2019ve 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\u2019ve come and just imagine what life is going to be like in a couple of years. I KNOW I\u2019m going to make it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As we enter this season of giving, we\u2019re filled with gratitude \u2014 for our dedicated team, the families we serve, and compassionate supporters like you who make every success story possible.
