Spark Success Story

“It reminded me that I wasn’t confined to where I was.”

I recently graduated in May and have been reflecting on the past year and on who helped me get to where I am. I want to thank Aspen Spark for what you did for me and my family. Hello Sunshine was an incredible experience that lifted my spirits and motivated me to continue pursuing my goals, regardless of my family’s situation. It reminded me that I wasn’t confined to where I was.

This helped me during the application process, which resulted in me being accepted to UCLA, where I’ll be attending in the fall of 2026.
