Throughout her academic journey, Andrea consistently demonstrated exceptional abilities and was placed in higher-level classes. However, she faced a challenge as her behavior did not align with her academic achievements. With unwavering determination, she harnessed her robust mind and voice, leveraging them to her advantage instead of against her. It was in high school that God led Andrea to experience an incredible turnaround, learning to redirect her energy to self-betterment, securing a job at her school district’s Administrating Building from sophomore year until graduation and wholeheartedly focusing on personal growth. It was during this transformative phase that the God-given seeds of her vision to create a youth program sprouted.
