What do Students Have to Say About Our SEA Program? We are sharing quotes from student participants across our various sites. Today, we present Joshua in Thousand Oaks!

"The SEA Program gives me enough time to complete my work. It has helped improve my work habits and grades. I'm getting better grades in English and math now. It also helped me to determine what I want to be later in life. I also feel more confident in succeeding in my classes now and want to do better in high school!"
