Emily Navala says attending the Accel Middle College Program has had the biggest impact on her life. She takes AVID, English and U.S. history classes in the afternoon, and in the mornings takes college classes to earn college credit. She is an active badminton player, a member of the soccer team, and enjoys taking Zumba classes. She plans to pursue a business degree and join the Peace Corps after college. She wants to attend graduate school and travel the world. “I believe that if you believe in yourself and enjoy everything that you are a part of, anything is possible for anyone to accomplish,” she says. “You just have to work hard at it.”
