Karla's Story
"In December of 2020 I started attending Pace at the age 15. I wasn’t sure who I was or what the future would hold. My mental health was declining, I was failing all my classes, and rarely went to school. Reserved and pessimistic I entered Pace. Pace shaped me into the person I am today. The staff taught me that it was okay to come out of my shell, it was okay to be loud and happy. They didn’t judge me for being just Karla. I thank them so much for helping me through my self-discovery. And let’s not forget the opportunities that Pace gave me: I did interviews, went to Pace Day at Capitol, and I was even featured in the Pace magazine. Pace has showed me so many amazing things life has to offer and now I’m going to take all that I have learned with me into my future."
