Stories of Success
Meet Angel
“Through my time at Pace, I learned that accepting help is not a sign of weakness but a step toward growth. Before attending Pace, I didn’t want to accept help from anyone, and my mindset was more negative than positive. I struggled to believe that others could genuinely want to support me. Pace's counselors and teachers taught me that things are always going to come at you in life, but it's what you do and how you think that matters the most. Pace has empowered me to face challenges with resilience and a sense of self-worth. Because of Pace, I feel better prepared to face the world with confidence.”
