Hi, I wanted to take a second and say thank you to Shellee Howard at College Ready. She had coached my daughter since, I believe, her sophomore year, and we had such a great experience because it's important that understanding the lay of the land for college is one thing, but really understanding what they need and how they match to your student is another. And she took great, careful time to really understand my daughter Katie, what she was interested in, what school she wanted, all those key things, and then was able to take all that information, help guide her along the way, and really find a school that not not only was able to give her some merit money and scholarship opportunities, but also give her a chance to apply to schools that were either in her top choice or reach schools, as she might call them. So at the end of this journey, which was, you know, quite long, and I'm sure all of you who are going into it now in a different landscape are nervous, but Shellee Howard is really good at making sure you understand the different schools, what they offer. We were able to get into, you know, San Diego State, USD, Boulder, Oregon State, UC Santa Cruz, um, uh, and the one that she ended up wanting and one of her best schools was Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. And we're so excited, she is thriving now that the schools are open. And I couldn't recommend Shellee enough for those that really want to understand the landscape of college. It is unique, uh, specifically in California, but even across the country. She really helps put that extra personalized touch to really understand the student and marry it with the school that you want to get into. So great, great opportunity working with Shellee Howard. I loved it, and I have a second daughter who's a junior that we are now learning to understand this new landscape, and I'm looking forward to working with her on that.
