“AVID has done many things for me, such as getting me organized and pulling up my grades. AVID also has helped me decide what path I want to take for a brighter future. If it wasn’t for AVID, I most likely would not be pushing myself to my fullest potential. I would also not be taking rigorous courses. I’m thankful for having AVID and hope that it continues to help me in following my dreams”
