Testimonials & Reviews
Kenzie - First Impressions Graduate
I didn’t know what I was doing with my life and I was nervous about my future before I found the program. I got into college, but I hated it.
I’m a very hands on learner. In college it was a lot of books and lectures and it was just horrible. I dreaded those classes everyday. So I dropped out and my family and friends were devastated.
Savannah - First Impressions Graduate
After I graduated from high school, I had no idea what I wanted to do. I was the kid that came home from school, “Here’s my test, I got a C.” I was awful at science.
Before the program I was living at my parents. I didn’t have much faith in myself. College didn’t work out for me, but I knew I couldn’t stay living at my parents forever and I hated my retail job.
Haley - First Impressions Graduate
Everyone has trials in life, why not skip a couple. This program can change you in so many ways - by starting off the right way from the beginning. If I can do it, so can you.
I always wanted a family, to be married and successful. I had my son at 18 years old; I walked across the stage at graduation pregnant.
I thought I was stuck. I tried college, but I hated it. I was miserable and dropped out.
