Amanda Gains Confidence in Herself and in her Abilities!

Amanda is an eighth grade student and a second-generation Cambodian-American. When she first came to TEAM-WORKS Academy, Amanda had a timid spirit and was lacking self-confidence. Amanda would come into the room and quietly sit and eat her snack until the program was ready to begin. Amanda walks with a limp due to a past medical condition. Amanda has big dreams to attend a prestigious university someday, but knows she must raise some of her grades in order to make this dream a reality.

Since attending TEAM-WORKS Academy, Amanda has gained confidence in herself and in her abilities. Through stretching and modified physical exercises, Amanda is walking at a faster pace and with a new-found confidence! Amanda always has a smile on her face and initiates conversations with TEAM-WORKS mentors and with other students. She speaks highly of the relationships she has been able to make as a result of the TEAM-WORKS program. Amanda has improved her study-habits and is working hard to attain the high-grades she will need to reach her educational goals; she knows that success comes one step at a time.
