The College Success Scholars program gave me the support I needed at the University Of Maryland. It has provided me with brothers who either have walked or are walking beside me on the path towards success. We constantly are there to support one another whenever we are in trouble or worried with a class or do not simply understand a concept. There have been times where I have felt down about something such as an exam or internship. It was my brothers who helped me back on my feet for each time I felt down and I can’t even express how much this means to me.
