“They didn’t know what caused it, but I was diagnosed with transverse myelitis. I was out of school for six months. When I came back they were taking the SBAC (Connecticut State Test). It took the other students a long time to do it. I finished in 45 minutes and I got the highest score in the grade. Just because you’ve been down a little bit doesn’t mean your expectations are going to be changed.” – Shiloh, AF Hartford Academy Elementary 4th Grader Read more about Shiloh and her incredible story on the AF Blog.

We can’t stop smiling after this incredible week. Congratulations to the AF Brooklyn High Class of 2018! The crowds went wild as our seniors announced that they’re heading to Barnard College, Baruch College, Brooklyn College, College of the Holy Cross , Lehigh University, SUNY Oneonta, Spelman College-Official Site, Stanford University and MANY more. 🎓💙🎓💙#afseniorsigningday
There's Miquell, headed for University of Richmond, who reminded the crowd that "under my thick natural hair is a brain designed to overturn the threads of oppression unleashed against my people since before the intertwined threads of American democracy were created." And there's Tolu. Out of the FOUR Ivies to which she was accepted, she chose Harvard University. And she had this to say, "Seeing other people that I know achieve such great things reminds you that, yeah, it's possible for people who look like me." #AFSeniorSigningDay

"For as long as I can remember, people have told me I need to leave my community to succeed—but I’m choosing to stay, and raise my voice for the four out of five students in my city who do not go on to college. If we don’t speak out, no one else will." - Julie, AF Bridgeport Academy Middle
