“I love it here. It's not like a normal school, it's like a family. Yesterday was 'Sisterhood Day' so we got to meet new people at Breakthrough Miami that we normally wouldn't talk to and learn about them. We made lots of new friends; that was a fun experience.”

—Julia Hernandez , 7th Grade, Breakthrough Miami Scholar

“Breakthrough Miami showed me lots of experiences, and allowed me to meet new friends and teachers. You get lots of love from the teachers, admin., and staff overall. Being a Breakthrough Scholar, I would say, was a pleasure. It was fun, exciting, and lots of work but it prepared me for the work I am facing in the 10th grade.”

-Ashley Scott, 11th Grade, Breakthrough Miami Scholar

Being part of the Heritage Panel allowed me to face old fears and to better myself as a student. I had lots of fun and lots of exciting times this past summer.
