How has your school’s focus program prepared you for postsecondary success?

The challenging nature of the program has prepared me for postsecondary success. I participated in many hands-on experiments and projects, which built my confidence. I also participated in Robotics, which is something I would never have done had I not been in the STEM program. Robotics further developed my public speaking skills and offered what I think is the greatest skill needed for postsecondary success – collaboration with people I don’t know.
