"When I first walked into this building, I had these expectations on who I was, and what I wanted to be later in life. Being here changed everything and in the best way possible. I encounter so many wonderful people who make going to school feel more like seeing your family again. If I didn’t go here, I would not have the life I have." Laurence Lilagan
