My experience as a dual-enrolled student at Grace allowed me to dip my toe into the waters of the college experience. I was able to adjust to college through a steady introduction of classes prior to becoming a freshman. This experience helped me gain confidence in my abilities and encouraged my excitement to begin my college career. I learned quickly that Grace was somewhere I could thrive, and from this encouragement, I came prepared and excited to invest myself in the community and appreciate these next steps in my life and education.
