I truly believe that the CSS program has granted me with everything I need to be successful in school and in life as well. Without this program, I honestly feel that I would be struggling in school. But thanks to the brotherhood and resources that are provided to us, I am able to soar for achieving greatness. CSS has helped me develop into a more sophisticated, dedicated, and well-rounded man. I am thankful for having the opportunity to be in such a great program with other great scholars and a great director, Dr. Lester. I expect nothing but the best in the future for me and those in the program and I owe it all to this one-of-a-kind program–College Success Scholars.
