The ACT students are ready for success.

During Brief In on Monday, they received a back pack filled with items to help them get a good start on college life.

The gifts included writing tablets, journals, gel pens in every color, packs of Post-it notes, organizers, flash drives and umbrellas for rainy days.

These students overcame many obstacles to get this far. They persevered, jumping through hoops and staying motivated. They did it all to reach their goal: enrolling in college. They will begin their summer semester on May 23.
