“I’ve always been told that AVID is a family. At first I thought it was only going to be about extra work and the ‘family’ was just to get us wanting the class. But, truthfully, AVID is a family because when you’re getting a bad grade, 2-6 other people are, too. A good grade? 2-6 other people are, too. We motivate one another and make the class an environment to be yourself and have support regardless of what goes on.”

“I stayed in AVID because AVID overall has shown me that my future is determined by me and I can reach my full potential in whatever I set my mind to.”
