COLLINS-UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER-MONROE, NY

“I would like to thank STAR for making it possible for me to meet with my sponsors. Now more than ever I believe that anything can be accomplished when one puts their mind to it. You have inspired me through these years, and I will never forget the big role STAR and my sponsors have played in my life. Thank you very much for the continued support you provide to my family. I feel emotionally overwhelmed to leave this program. You have opened opportunities that couldn’t be possible in a public school near where I live. I feel well prepared to proceed and tussle with high school curriculum and of course college! Thank you for your giving hearts and generosity especially during these hard economic times.” - Collins
