In my job I see a lot of kids from single-parent households. I understand the struggles they have as single parents and just want to be here for them.

They're overwhelmed. You're more than doubling the number of kids being tested.

Our kids have to deal with the neighborhood thing - Westside and all. We had our turn last year.

We have freshmen who have made a huge impact right away. The younger kids are just starting to tap into their talent.

When I speak to groups of parents of young kids, they mostly want to develop strategies for qualifying for financial aid and the unfortunate part is if they haven't saved anything, they may discover that aid will mostly be in the form of loans.

It's overwhelming to see kids excited. It's a dream come true.
