“I was a good student in high school and did well. Once I got to college, I hit a wall. Changes from high school to college took me by surprise and I failed two classes in my first two semesters. Beverly showed me that I wasn’t organized enough and that I needed to apply myself in a different way. I remember Beverly asking me… what’s more important to you? Graduating in four years or graduating, period? It was the kind of advice I neede to get me on the right path.”
