Every single one of our students has a story to tell. From the future engineer learning Algebra for the first time, to the gamer who’s going to create the next big thing. ✨ Each of our students have a story to tell and that’s why we’re SO PUMPED for you to meet Aaron Custodio, a first-gen college student who got accepted into three ivy league schools. 🎉 We can’t promise you that you won’t cry watching this, but grab some tissues just in case. 😭 Yale University #edtech #educationforall #studentsuccess
