My favorite part about all of this is definitey the mentors and volunteers because they genuinely care about your wellbeing and want to see you succeed. I will always cherish the people I’ve met at Minds Matter and wouldn’t take my experience back for anything.”

From her mentor, Rachel Paschal: “I have no doubt Maranda will be enormously successful in college, and throughout whatever path she chooses after. It’s been a joy to watch her tackle challenges, learn from them, and come out stronger. She has already accomplished so much, especially as yearbook editor. I’m looking forward to seeing what she will accomplish next!”
