"I was trying to get into school, but I needed help. I asked Mrs. Scott and she helped me fill out all of my paperwork (ACT, ULM application, NCAA clearinghouse form). She even paid for me to apply online, since I didn't have the money that day. Thank you Mrs. Scott!"
- Nicko Viges, Tara High School
"Mrs. Edwards helped me in so many ways. She told me about the opportunities in the Baton Rouge area and helped me fill out my application. She went the extra mile with and it made all the difference in the world!"
- Raeven Grant, Tara High School, Class of 2006
"It was great to have Mrs. Edwards and Mrs. Scott to go to whenever I had questions about college. They were always more than willing to help and they constantly stayed on students about filling out ACT applications, FASFA, etc. They're passionate about helping kids succeed. Thank you!"
- Kellie Cook, Tara High School
"High school has been really challenging dealing with two jobs, school, and a child. College was a choice in my life, but enrolling was impossible with all I had on my plate. With the help of Mrs. Edwards, I applied for school and got my acceptance letter. I feel like I am just now beginning life!"
- Corinthia Vicks, Tara High School
"I can't imagine how my college application process would have went if it weren't for Mrs. Scott and Mrs. Edwards. Getting into the right college is scary enough without the added pressure of having to do it all yourself. It was a comforting luxury to have teachers here at school who cared enough to hold my hand through the entire process. Mrs. Scott and Mrs. Edwards were the ones who made sure that I applied to LSU in ample time and consistently reminded me of deadlines as they approached. It wasn't just me that they helped out immensely; it seemed that every time I saw them, they were signing kids up for the ACT, handing out scholarship applications, and filling out applications for admissions. Mrs. Edwards and Mrs. Scott are two teachers that have made a profound impact on my life and their efforts here in high school will be everlasting!"
- Cory Chappell, Tara High School, Class of 2006
"Mrs. Scott came to me and asked me what I was planning on doing after graduation. I told her I wanted to do hair, but I didn't know what schools offered classes here in Baton Rouge. Also, I was pregnant and didn't know what I'd be able to do with my baby while I went to school. Mrs. Scott found a school here in Baton Rouge where I could take classes and they would take my baby into their daycare. I met with the admissions department and start school in the fall. Thank you!"

"Career Compass has been a great help to me. I finally feel like someone wants to help me. They have done so much to help me and a lot of the students here, and we all appreciate them very much."
-Jasmin Doss, Woodlawn High School, Class of 2008
"Career Compass helped me pay for my ACT and apply to the college I desired, and they broke down every single aspect about preparing for college. They've been such a help that I was one of the first seniors to be accepted into a four-year college. When somebody comes up to me and asks me who can help them prepare for college, before I say teachers, counselors, or other school personnel, I say Career Compass."
-James Wilson, Broadmoor High School, Class of 2007
"As a senior at Woodlawn High, Career Compass has helped me greatly. They have helped me fill out my application for OLOL, paid my application fee and also helped me with FAFSA. I truly appreciate their help and time."
-Paloma Sanders, Woodlawn High School, Class of 2007
"Career Compass has been very helpful to me this school year. Career Compass has not only assisted me in registering for the ACT, but also paid for it. They have helped me obtain information about financing college, including filling out my FAFSA and searching for scholarships. The guidance and encouragement they have given me has made me feel more secure about these important decisions for my future."
-Tu Cap, Broadmoor High School, Class of 2007
"This program is amazing. I was fascinated with it from my first day hearing them speak about it and now I am more fascinated with how much help and how nice Mrs. Edwards and Mrs. Scott are. Career Compass is very helpful and I appreciate and thank God for them. I know if other kids are given this chance, they will too."
-Apollos Felix, Woodlawn High School, Class of 2007
