“When I was a kid, Aim High helped me to learn in a self-directed way and have conversations with teachers where they weren’t too busy to listen to you. Aim High made me see the world in a different way. There’s more growth in me, I don’t have to set a standard, I can set my own bar. And now I want students to see me and be able to come to me, because I am like them.” – Crystal Soto-Ramirez, Aim High Tahoe/Truckee
