Valeria's Story
"Uprooted Academy changed my life. I'm extremely grateful for all the knowledge. Before being part of Uprooted Academy, I felt lost and scared as a first-generation student applying to college, but after Uprooted I felt AMAZING and gained all that confidence back. I will forever be grateful to Uprooted Academy for pushing me to keep trusting in myself. I am now able to say that I got admitted to the university of my dreams: Columbia University. Thank you, Uprooted Academy."
