After four years of having the chance of taking classes at Saint Anselm College’s Access Acadmy, my final year and final semester came. I have created many memories and grown significantly through this program. This experience has given me a great opportunity to receive extra credit, learn new skills, and dive deeper into skills I already have. Of course, to also be able to spend more time with my friends after school. 

Just like the first semester, we sat down for the final showcase in an auditorium, listening to the voices of students and peers, and seeing everyone’s final projects. This year was a little different and more special, this time, I was one of the seniors who were gifted a rose and a certificate of completion. In my first year attending Access Academy, I looked forward to this day. The rose meant so much to me and my friends, and we were so glad to finally receive it. Reminiscing over the years and diverse classes I have taken, I am grateful I decided to take this program. 

I highly recommend this program to be taken from Freshman through Senior year. Whether you’re there for the credits, skills, or the food, there is something everyone should be able to enjoy and find worth it.
