“My main goal was to succeed academically. CLE helped me achieve that goal by teaching me how to be successful in college, which is a very different process than succeeding in high school. For some kids it’s hard to jump straight into college from high school. CLE helped me transition from one environment to the next without feeling overwhelmed. I just wanted to get through school, at first. But now, I want to keep going and become a social worker. I could even work with other adults with special needs some day.” -- Fred, CLE student
