Without TEAK I would have continued to live a life of complacency, never even approaching my full potential. I'm now a freshman at Williams College and still discovering what I'm capable of. I have TEAK to thank for that.
A TEAK Fellow is self-motivated. He commits himself to learning because he enjoys it and knows that it will benefit him in the future.
I used to believe that I was the product of hopes that turned to failure, but I learned that I was the product of dreams that just needed to see a different light. And that light was TEAK.
Before coming to TEAK, I never knew where hard work could lead. After two intense years, I am now a student at Concord Academy and see how determination pays off.
"I have learned not only how to dream, but that I am worthy of those dreams.
All the people that come to TEAK are pretty awesome. They are dedicated, hardworking, and they come out doing amazing things.
