| "My name is Veronica . . . and I participated in the Grad Prep program during Session C [2007]. I was accepted into various teacher education programs such as UCLA, LMU, and COLUMBIA. I will be attending Columbia Teachers College this fall I am very excited. I couldn't have done it without all the strategies I learned in the GRAD Prep Program.
